Ingredients
- 4 cups (shredded) Green cabbage
- 2 cups (shredded) Red cabbage
- 1 cup (shredded) Carrots
- 0.5 cup (chopped) Fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 1.5 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded green cabbage, shredded red cabbage, and shredded carrots. Toss to mix evenly.
Step 2
Add the chopped fresh basil leaves to the bowl and gently mix them into the vegetables.
Step 3
In a separate small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the mayonnaise, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.
Step 4
Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrot mixture in the large bowl. Use tongs or a large spoon to toss thoroughly until all the vegetables are coated evenly in the dressing.
Step 5
Taste the coleslaw and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or pepper to your preference.
Step 6
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the coleslaw to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 7
Before serving, give the coleslaw a final toss to redistribute any dressing that may have settled at the bottom. Serve chilled as a side dish or topping.
