Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 2 cups white cabbage, shredded
- 2 cups red cabbage, shredded
- 1 cup radishes, topped and tailed, finely diced
- ¾ cup carrot, shredded
- ¼ cup green onion, finely diced
- ¼ cup cilantro, diced
Honey Dressing
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar or white distilled vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger root
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Vegetables: Use a sharp knife, mandolin, or box grater to shred the white and red cabbage. Grate the carrot using a box grater. Finely dice the green onion and cilantro. Dice the radishes finely into matchstick-size pieces or rounds, according to your preference. Add all the prepared vegetables to a large mixing bowl.
- Make the Dressing: In a separate bowl or jar, combine olive oil, apple cider vinegar (or white distilled vinegar), honey, grated fresh ginger, salt, and black pepper if using. Whisk or shake well until all ingredients are fully blended to form the dressing.
- Toss the Slaw: Pour the prepared honey-ginger dressing over the slaw ingredients in the large bowl. Toss thoroughly to ensure all the vegetables are well coated with the dressing.
- Serve: The slaw is ready to serve immediately, or you can refrigerate it for 15-30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld further and serve chilled.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, increase the amount of grated ginger or add a pinch of chili flakes.
- You can substitute radishes with daikon or jicama if preferred.
- The slaw can be prepared a few hours ahead and kept refrigerated, but dress just before serving to maintain crispness.
- For a vegan version, ensure the honey is replaced with maple syrup or agave nectar.
- Adjust the vinegar quantity based on your preferred acidity level.
