Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 4 cups green cabbage, shredded
- 1 cup carrots, grated
- ½ cup dill pickles, chopped
- ¼ cup red onion, thinly sliced
Dressing
- ½ cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt)
- 2 tbsp Sriracha sauce
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- Prep the Vegetables: Shred the cabbage finely and grate the carrots. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, grated carrots, chopped dill pickles, and thinly sliced red onion to create the vegetable base of the slaw.
- Make the Dressing: In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), Sriracha sauce, honey, and apple cider vinegar until the dressing is smooth and well emulsified, balancing creamy, sweet, and spicy flavors.
- Combine: Pour the prepared dressing over the vegetable mixture and toss thoroughly to ensure every shred and slice is evenly coated with the flavorful dressing.
- Chill: Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate the slaw for at least one hour. This chilling step allows the flavors to meld and the vegetables to slightly soften without losing their crunch.
- Serve: Before serving, give the slaw one final toss to redistribute the dressing, then enjoy it as a refreshing side dish or as a spicy topping for sandwiches and grilled dishes.
Notes
- For a lighter version, substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt.
- Adjust the Sriracha quantity to control the spice level to your taste.
- This slaw can be prepared a day ahead and kept refrigerated to deepen the flavors.
- Use fresh vegetables for the best crunch and flavor.
- Serve chilled for optimal refreshment and texture.
