Ingredients

• 4 cups (shredded) Green cabbage
• 2 cups (shredded) Red cabbage
• 1 cup (shredded) Carrots
• 2 whole (seeded and finely chopped) Jalapeno pepper
• 1 cup (loosely packed, chopped) Cilantro
• 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
• 0.25 cup Sour cream
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

1. Prepare the vegetables: Finely shred the green cabbage, red cabbage, and carrots using a food processor, mandoline, or sharp knife. Place them into a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

2. Prepare the jalapenos: Slice the jalapeno peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds for less heat (leave the seeds in if you prefer a spicier coleslaw). Finely chop the jalapenos and add them to the mixing bowl with the vegetables.

Step 3

3. Chop the cilantro: Roughly chop the cilantro and add it to the bowl with the shredded cabbage, carrots, and jalapenos.

Step 4

4. Make the dressing: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well-combined.

Step 5

5. Combine: Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss everything together thoroughly until all of the cabbage mixture is coated evenly with the dressing.

Step 6

6. Chill: Cover the coleslaw and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 7

7. Serve: Give the coleslaw a final stir before serving. Enjoy as a side dish or as a topping for your favorite dishes!
