Easy Peasy Citrus Summer Coleslaw
Equipment
- food processor
Ingredients
Vegetables
- 1/2 head green cabbage shredded
- 1/2 head purple cabbage shredded
- green peppers, red peppers, yellow peppers, carrots, tomatoes all optional and add some extra color!
Dressing
- 1/4 cup white vinegar
- 3 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp brown mustard
- 1 tbsp oil
- 1 lime
- 1 lemon
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Vegetables
- Shred the cabbage. I go the easy route and use a food proccesor with a shred attachment (can shred a whole freaking cabbage in 30 seconds). But finely chopping with a knife works just as well.
- Chop or shred any other vegetables you want and add to the cabbage.
Dressing
- Whisk the vinegar and sugar until sugar is dissolved. Squeeze the juice of 1 lemon and 1 lime into the mix.
- Add in all other dressing ingredients and whisk until well combined.
Storing
- If you want, you can allow the cabbage to "marinade" in the dressing for 1 hour before eating, but it's not necessary.
Notes
Let’s be honest, I don’t plan ahead and I don’t have patience. I’m not waiting an hour to eat this. But there are some flavor benefits if you do. Fun fact: when you store the leftovers the purple cabbage starts to bleed a little and the entire coleslaw turns this beautiful purple color and it’s pretty cool.
