The BEST Coleslaw is crunchy, creamy and my most-made salad. It takes minutes, uses budget-friendly ingredients that last in the fridge, and pairs with almost anything. Perfect for barbecues, weeknight dinners or picnics, it’s a salad you’ll keep coming back to.

Ingredients

COLESLAW

225 g shredded green cabbage (see note 1)
150 g shredded red cabbage (see note 1)
2 medium carrots, grated or julienned (see note 2)
3 spring onions (scallions), finely sliced, plus extra to garnish
1 celery stalk, finely sliced

DRESSING

160 g whole-egg mayonnaise
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp dijon mustard
1 tsp white sugar (can be substituted with honey)
½ tsp sea salt flakes
¼ tsp freshly cracked black pepper, plus extra to serve

Instructions

Assemble the veggies – Place the cabbage, carrot, spring onion and celery in a large bowl.
Make the dressing – In a separate small bowl or jar, combine all the dressing ingredients. Whisk (or shake, if using a jar) until smooth and creamy.
Dress the veggies – Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss until evenly coated.
Serve – Serve immediately for maximum crunch with extra cracked black pepper on top and extra sliced spring onion.

Notes

Note 1 – Use a , or a food processor with a large chute, for finely shredded cabbage if you want a restaurant-style slaw.

Note 2 – Use a julienne peeler to make quick work of this!

MAKE AHEAD

The dressing can be made up to 7 days in advance and stored in a sealed jar in the fridge. Shredded vegetables will keep in an airtight container for up to 3–4 days. See my fruit and vegetable storage tips article for more details. For best results, dress just before serving.

LEFTOVERS
