Ingredients
  

Vegetables

  • 1 cup shredded purple cabbage Offers vibrant color and additional texture.
  • 1 cup shredded Brussels sprouts Adds a tender crunch and nutrient boost.
  • 1 medium apple Brings sweetness and a crisp bite.
Dressing
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise Creates a creamy dressing that binds the ingredients.
  • 1 tablespoon raw honey or pure maple syrup Sweetens the dressing naturally.
  • 1 tablespoon raw apple cider vinegar Contributes tanginess and depth to the dressing.
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice Adds brightness and balances flavors.
  • 1 pinch ground black pepper Adds seasoning to enhance flavors.
  • 1 pinch sea salt Balances and elevates all the other flavors.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together all the ingredients for your dressing. Taste test and adjust if desired.
  2. In a large bowl, combine your shredded green cabbage, purple cabbage, and Brussels sprouts.
  3. Quickly chop your apple, then immediately toss it with the fresh lemon juice, then add it to the bowl with the cabbage.
  4. Drizzle the dressing over everything then toss well to coat.
  5. Your coleslaw stays good in the fridge for two days but is best enjoyed within twenty-four hours.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of garlic powder to the dressing. Let the coleslaw sit in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving for deeper flavor integration.
