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 cabbage finely and grate the carrots. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cabbage, grated carrots, chopped dill pickles, and thinly sliced red onion, ensuring even distribution of each ingredient.
  2. Make the Dressing: In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), Sriracha sauce, honey, and apple cider vinegar until the mixture is smooth and creamy, providing a balanced sweet and spicy flavor.
  3. Combine: Pour the prepared dressing over the vegetable mixture and toss thoroughly until every piece is evenly coated with the dressing, ensuring consistent taste throughout the slaw.
  4. Chill: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the slaw for at least one hour. This chilling process allows the flavors to meld together, enhancing the overall taste and texture.
  5. Serve: Before serving, give the slaw another gentle toss to redistribute any dressing that may have settled, then enjoy this refreshing and flavorful side dish.

Notes

  • For a lighter option, substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt.
  • Adjust the amount of Sriracha sauce to control the level of spiciness.
  • Ensure the slaw is well chilled for the best flavor fusion.
  • This slaw pairs well with grilled meats, sandwiches, or as a standalone salad.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
