Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 4 cups green cabbage, shredded
  • 1 cup carrots, grated
  • ½ cup dill pickles, chopped
  • ¼ cup red onion, thinly sliced

Dressing

  • ½ cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt)
  • 2 tbsp Sriracha sauce
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

Instructions

  1. Prep the Vegetables: Shred the green cabbage into fine pieces and grate the carrots. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, grated carrots, chopped dill pickles, and thinly sliced red onion. Mix well to distribute the vegetables evenly.
  2. Make the Dressing: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), Sriracha sauce, honey, and apple cider vinegar until the mixture is smooth and well combined, creating a creamy and flavorful dressing.
  3. Combine: Pour the creamy dressing over the vegetable mixture. Toss everything thoroughly to ensure all the vegetables are evenly coated with the sweet and spicy dressing.
  4. Chill: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the slaw for at least one hour. This allows the flavors to meld and the slaw to become crisp and refreshing.
  5. Serve: Before serving, give the slaw a good toss to redistribute the dressing. Serve chilled as a tasty side dish to complement your favorite meals.

Notes

  • You can substitute Greek yogurt for mayonnaise to make it lighter and add a tangy flavor.
  • Adjust the amount of Sriracha to control the heat level according to your preference.
  • For extra crunch, consider adding toasted nuts or seeds such as pumpkin seeds or sliced almonds.
  • Make the slaw a few hours ahead for deeper flavor infusion; it can keep well refrigerated for up to 2 days.
