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

Scale
  • 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

  1. Prepare Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, combine the finely shredded green cabbage, red cabbage, and grated carrots.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
