A crisp, tangy, and vibrant red cabbage slaw with a zesty Dijon vinaigrette
Coleslaw (Live recipe image

This vibrant coleslaw features finely grated red cabbage for a striking color and satisfying crunch. Unlike heavy mayo-based slaws, this version uses a light, tangy dressing made with cider vinegar, olive oil, and Dijon mustard. The addition of celery seeds provides a warm, aromatic kick that complements the natural sweetness of the cabbage. It’s a refreshing side dish that pairs perfectly with grilled meats, sandwiches, or as a healthy standalone salad. The flavors meld beautifully after chilling, making it an ideal make-ahead option for potlucks, picnics, or weeknight dinners. Simple, fresh, and full of flavor.
