Step 1

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Add diced onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

While the sloppy joe filling cooks, prepare the coleslaw. In a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage, grated carrot, and sliced red onion.

Step 7

In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey, celery seeds, salt, and black pepper.

Step 8

Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss to coat evenly.
