Ingredients

  • 4 cups shredded green cabbage (240 grams)
  • 2 cups shredded red cabbage (120 grams)
  • 2 cups shredded carrots (150 grams)
  • 1/2 packed cup cilantro, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup healthy coleslaw dressing (or more if desired)
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • optional toppings: cilantro, black pepper...

Instructions

  • Make the dressing. Mix all ingredients in a jar. Adjust it according to taste. The dressing can be made up to a week in advance. If making it in advance, give it a good whisk before using.
  • Prep your veggies. Thinly slice the cabbage into long thin strips so it still has some texture and crunch. To shred the carrots, use a cheese grater on the largest shredding spot.
  • Mix everything together. Add cabbage, carrots, cilantro, dressing, salt, and pepper to a large bowl. Toss until well combined and the sauce is incorporated.
  • Enjoy! I like to let the coleslaw sit in the fridge for 15-30 minutes to come together (or longer if you have time), but you can eat it right away as well.
