Description

This vibrant slaw combines the crisp texture of shredded green cabbage with sweet, julienned red and yellow bell peppers. The dressing is a rich blend of high-quality mayonnaise, earthy dill seeds, and fresh dill, balanced by a subtle heat from chipotle powder. It offers a refreshing crunch that cuts through richer dishes, making it an excellent side for grilled meats or a standalone appetizer. The flavors meld beautifully as it chills, so it is perfect for meal prep or serving at potlucks. It is a simple, no-cook dish that delivers maximum flavor with minimal effort, bringing a touch of international zest to your table.

  4. Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss gently until evenly coated.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and freshly ground pepper as needed.

Note

For a vegan version, substitute the mayonnaise with a high-quality vegan mayo.

This slaw improves as it sits, so it can be made up to 24 hours in advance. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

If you prefer more heat, increase the chipotle powder or add a dash of hot sauce.

Ensure the cabbage is dried thoroughly after washing to prevent the dressing from becoming watery.
