Ingredients
For the Slaw Salad (Dry Mix):
- ½ small green cabbage (about 3-4 cups) shredded
- ½ small purple cabbage (about 3-4 cups) shredded
- 2 cups matchstick carrots (or 1-2 carrots grated)
- 1 ½ cups dried cranberries/craisins
- salt and pepper to taste
For the Homemade Dresssing:
- 1 cup apple cider vinegar
- 4 tablespoon honey
- 4 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
- a couple dashes of seasoned salt (optional)
Instructions
- Rinse and thoroughly dry all produce.
- Slice green and purple cabbage into thin strips and place in an extra-large mixing bowl. Tip: I love a rustic chopped slaw, so I prefer to slice and shred my cabbage. If you like more of a minced coleslaw, you can grate your cabbages as well as the carrot.
- Add in matchstick carrots.
- Add in dried cranberries.
- Use a pair of tongs to toss the dry slaw mix until everything is evenly distributed.
- To make the homemade dressing: Combine apple cider vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, and honey in a medium-sized bowl. Whisk thoroughly. Salt and pepper to taste. Store the dressing in a glass mason jar in the refrigerator separate from the slaw until ready to use. You can dress for 15 minutes and up to several hours before. Avoid keeping dressed slaw in the refrigerator overnight because the purple cabbage will "bleed" onto the remaining ingredients.
- Serve.
Notes
The slaw salad is super easy to make because you don't need exact measurements. Want more carrots? Add in another ½ cup, or grate another carrot. Want more purple cabbage than green cabbage? Subtract a cup of green and add a cup of purple.
