Description
This refreshing, oil-free coleslaw is the perfect side dish for any gathering. It features a crisp blend of shredded green and red cabbage tossed with fresh carrots in a vibrant apple cider vinegar dressing. By using a light salting process, the vegetables maintain a satisfying crunch while perfectly absorbing the tangy, sweet, and aromatic notes of celery seed. It is a food-safe, dairy-free choice that cuts through the richness of any meal.
Ingredients
1 medium head green cabbage
1/2 small head red cabbage
2 whole carrots
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon celery seed
1 tablespoon kosher salt
Instructions
Shred the green and red cabbage into fine, uniform ribbons.
Grate the peeled carrots using the large holes on a box grater.
Combine the shredded vegetables in a large glass mixing bowl.
Sprinkle kosher salt over the vegetable mixture and toss to coat thoroughly.
Whisk the apple cider vinegar, sugar, and celery seed in a small jar until sugar crystals dissolve.
Pour the liquid dressing over the salted vegetable mixture.
Cover the bowl tightly and refrigerate for at least two hours to allow the cabbage to soften while retaining crunch.
Notes
Use white vinegar for a sharper bite if desired. Honey can be substituted for granulated sugar for a different flavor profile. The slaw is best served chilled.
