Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 2 cups finely shredded green cabbage
  • 2 cups finely shredded red cabbage
  • 1 cup finely shredded fresh carrots
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced celery
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Dressing

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon stevia or preferred low carb sweetener
  • Salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Vegetables: Finely shred the green cabbage, red cabbage, and carrots. Thinly slice the celery and red onion. This combination ensures a perfect texture blend and allows the veggies to absorb the dressing well.
  2. Mix the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, sweetener, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, aiming for a balanced tangy, creamy, and subtly sweet flavor.
  3. Combine Everything: Pour the dressing over the chopped vegetables and toss thoroughly to coat every shred evenly. Sprinkle fresh parsley on top and gently mix one last time to combine flavors beautifully.
  4. Chill Before Serving: Cover and refrigerate the slaw for at least 30 minutes. This allows flavors to meld and the vegetables to soften slightly while maintaining their crunch.

Notes

  • Use the freshest vegetables possible for maximum crunch and flavor.
  • Shred veggies finely to help the slaw absorb the dressing while keeping a great texture.
  • Adjust vinegar and sweetener amounts to balance tangy and sweet flavors to your liking.
  • Refrigerate the slaw for at least 30 minutes before serving to enhance flavor combination.
  • Serve cold for the freshest taste and best texture.
