Marinated Coleslaw

Tangy, vibrant, and irresistibly crisp, this Marinated Coleslaw is a refreshing twist on a classic side dish. Packed with a colorful medley of shredded green and red cabbage, sweet carrots, and zesty red bell pepper, it delivers both crunch and flavor in every bite. The star of the recipe is the homemade apple cider vinegar dressing, lightly sweetened with honey and infused with a hint of Dijon mustard for a perfect balance of tangy and savory. What sets this coleslaw apart is the marination time, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully while the vegetables stay crisp. Ready in just 15 minutes (plus chill time) and easy to prep ahead, this no-mayo coleslaw is a healthy, versatile side dish that pairs wonderfully with grilled meats, sandwiches, or tacos. Best served chilled, it’s the ultimate make-ahead dish for picnics, barbecues, or weeknight dinners!
