Description
A traditional creamy coleslaw recipe featuring a unique twist with a smoky roasted red pepper dressing. The vibrant, tangy dressing coats crisp cabbage and carrots, perfect as a family-friendly side dish for grilling or BBQ.
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs green cabbage, finely shredded
- 3.5 oz red cabbage, finely shredded
- 7 oz carrots, grated
- 1 cup mayonnaise (vegetable oil based)
- 3.5 oz roasted red pepper, drained (from a jar)
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- extra smoked paprika, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, combine the finely shredded green cabbage, red cabbage, and grated carrots.
- Blend Dressing: Add the mayonnaise, drained roasted red pepper, apple cider vinegar, granulated sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to a blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
- Combine Slaw: Pour the dressing over the vegetables in the large bowl. Gently toss with tongs or spatulas until every piece of cabbage and carrot is evenly coated.
- Chill and Meld Flavors: Cover the bowl tightly and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours, before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
- Garnish and Serve: Transfer the chilled coleslaw to a serving dish and lightly dust with extra smoked paprika for garnish before serving.
Notes
For best results, use full-fat mayonnaise. For a lighter version, replace half the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt. To ensure vegetables stay crisp, thoroughly dry them before combining with the dressing.
