Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 200g Green Cabbage, finely shredded
- 200g Red Cabbage, finely shredded
- 150g Carrots, grated
- 50g Red Onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp Fresh Parsley, chopped
Dressing
- 3 tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar (natural)
- 1 tbsp Vegetarian Worcestershire Sauce (natural)
- 4 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 tsp Dijon Mustard (natural)
- 1 tsp Maple Syrup (natural)
- Salt, to taste
- Black Pepper, to taste
- 1/4 tsp Natural Gelling Agent
Instructions
- Prepare the Vegetables: Begin by finely shredding the green and red cabbage, then grate the carrots and thinly slice the red onion. This precision ensures even texture and flavor distribution throughout the salad.
- Make the Dressing: In a bowl, whisk together apple cider vinegar, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), olive oil, Dijon mustard (natural), maple syrup (natural), salt, pepper, and a small amount of natural gelling agent. Whisk until the dressing is smooth and slightly thickened.
- Combine and Toss: Pour the dressing over the prepared vegetables and toss gently but thoroughly to coat every shred. Add chopped fresh parsley and give a final mix, then let it rest for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Chill and Serve: For the best taste and texture, refrigerate the coleslaw for a minimum of 30 minutes before serving. This helps the vegetables soak up the refreshing dressing without losing their satisfying crunch.
Notes
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh, crisp vegetables make a noticeable difference in texture and taste.
- Don’t Overdress: Add the dressing gradually and mix to avoid sogginess.
- Resting Time: Allow the salad to chill so flavors develop and meld beautifully.
- Texture Balance: Mixing finely shredded cabbage with chunkier carrot pieces keeps every bite interesting.
- Store Properly: Keep the coleslaw in an airtight container to maintain freshness for up to three days.
