Red Cabbage and Carrot Coleslaw Recipe

How to Make Heavenly Red Cabbage & Carrot Coleslaw

This recipe will supercharge your red cabbage and carrot coleslaw and transform it into a heavenly side dish bursting with flavour. The secret, of course, is in the combination of ingredients.

I never would have thought to add cheese, and when I decided to try, it elevated this dish. If you don’t like cheese, you can omit it without ruining the dish. You can also swap up the cheese for another type.

The Dijon mustard, mayo, coconut sugar and apple cider vinegar make for a zinger dressing. And the apple and carrot give the dish a nice level of sweetness without adding more sugar.

How to Easily Shred Red Cabbage for Coleslaw

To shred a red cabbage for coleslaw, first remove the loose leaves on the exterior of the cabbage until you’re left with just the tightly packed leaves around the head.

Stand the head up on its root end and cut it in half. Use a sharp chef’s knife to remove the stem, then make diagonal cuts around the core.

Place the half head cut side down on your cutting board and start making a series of parallel vertical cuts. Once you’ve cut enough that the base becomes unstable, rotate the remaining uncut portion 90 degrees onto its larger face and continue cutting.

Repeat with the other half head and use a bench scraper to transfer it to a bowl.

Your cabbage is now ready to dress for slaw.
