Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 4 cups green cabbage, finely shredded
- 1 cup carrots, finely shredded
Dressing
- 1 cup plant-based mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar (natural)
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar (natural)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (natural)
- 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the Vegetables: Finely shred the green cabbage and carrots using a sharp knife or food processor. Rinse the shredded vegetables thoroughly and drain well to maintain crispness without extra moisture.
- Mix the Dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together the plant-based mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar (natural), brown sugar (natural), Dijon mustard (natural), natural gelling agent, salt, and pepper until the dressing is smooth and creamy, ensuring the natural gelling agent is well incorporated.
- Combine and Chill: Pour the dressing over the shredded cabbage and carrots. Toss gently but thoroughly to coat every shred evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour to allow flavors to meld and textures to develop.
- Serve and Enjoy: Before serving, give the coleslaw a final toss. Adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if desired. Serve as a refreshing side that complements a variety of dishes.
Notes
- Shred vegetables evenly for balanced texture and flavor.
- Chill the coleslaw for at least one hour to enhance flavor fusion and soften cabbage slightly while retaining crunch.
- Adjust brown sugar (natural) to taste depending on the sweetness of your vegetables.
- Use fresh vegetables instead of pre-shredded to maintain crisp texture and clean flavor.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days to retain freshness and crunch.
