Ingredients

For the Coleslaw:

10 oz shredded green cabbage
1 tablespoon minced red onion
1/2 cup shredded carrot

For the Dressing:

1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

Prep vegetables and mix together in a bowl.
Whisk dressing ingredients together in a small bowl until smooth.
Pour the dressing over the coleslaw and toss until fully coated.
Let sit for 20 minutes, or up to an hour, before serving. Enjoy!

Notes

Egg-free/vegan: Use a vegan brand of mayo to eliminate egg and make the coleslaw fully vegan.

Refined sugar-free: Honey can be used as a natural sweetener in place of the sugar.

Make-ahead: I recommend serving this coleslaw 20 minutes to 1 hour after combining the dressing with the coleslaw mix. If making further in advance, wait to combine.

To Store: This coleslaw is best served the day it's made. Refrigerate leftover coleslaw in an airtight container.

Let Sit: This coleslaw is best if you mix it together and let it sit for 20 minutes to 1 hour (but no longer than that!) before serving.
