Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • ½ head green cabbage, thinly sliced
  • 2 large carrots, grated
  • ½ red onion, thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • ¾ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon celery seed
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Prepare the Vegetables - Thinly slice the cabbage using a sharp knife or mandoline slicer. Grate the carrots and thinly slice the red onion. Combine all vegetables in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Make the Creamy Dressing - In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, celery seed, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  3. Combine and Chill - Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture and toss thoroughly to coat every strand. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow flavors to meld and the cabbage to soften slightly.
  4. Final Touches - Just before serving, toss the coleslaw again and garnish with additional fresh parsley.

Notes

Don't overdress the coleslaw - start with ¾ of the dressing, toss, then add more if needed. Make this coleslaw 2-4 hours before serving for best flavor development. The resting period is essential for developing the perfect texture and flavor balance.
