Healthy and Delicious Coleslaw Recipe
Light and Refreshing Coleslaw to Brighten Your Meal
Starting a diet and looking to reduce carbohydrate intake? If you want to eat healthily without sacrificing flavor, coleslaw made with affordable and nutritious cabbage is the perfect answer! Remembering the taste of KFC’s coleslaw, we’re introducing a recipe you can easily make at home. Its crisp texture and sweet-and-tangy flavor will whet your appetite and keep you feeling full.
Main Ingredients
- 1/4 head fresh cabbage
- A little bit of crisp carrot
- 5 Tbsp sweet corn kernels
Refreshing Dressing Ingredients
- 6 Tbsp creamy mayonnaise
- 1 Tbsp flavorful honey mustard
- 1 Tbsp sweet apple cider vinegar
- A pinch of aromatic black pepper (to taste)
- 2 Tbsp granulated sugar
- 3 Tbsp coarse salt (for pickling vegetables)
- 6 Tbsp creamy mayonnaise
- 1 Tbsp flavorful honey mustard
- 1 Tbsp sweet apple cider vinegar
- A pinch of aromatic black pepper (to taste)
- 2 Tbsp granulated sugar
- 3 Tbsp coarse salt (for pickling vegetables)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash the cabbage thoroughly, remove the core, and thinly shred it. Peel the carrot and also shred it thinly. Place the shredded cabbage and carrot in a bowl, add 3 tablespoons of coarse salt, gently toss to combine, and let it sit for 30 minutes to wilt. This process helps maintain the vegetables’ crispness while removing excess moisture.
Step 2
After 30 minutes, firmly squeeze the wilted cabbage and carrot with your hands to remove as much water as possible. If too much water remains, the coleslaw can taste bland, so squeezing it well is crucial. Add 5 tablespoons of sweet corn kernels to the squeezed vegetables.
Step 3
Now, let’s make the delicious dressing. In a bowl, combine 6 tablespoons of creamy mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon of honey mustard for added flavor, 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar for that tangy kick, and a pinch of aromatic black pepper to your liking. Finally, add 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar for sweetness.
Step 4
Add all the prepared dressing ingredients to the bowl and mix thoroughly with the vegetables until everything is well combined. Your delicious coleslaw is complete! Taste it and if it’s too bland, add a tiny bit more salt. If it tastes slightly bitter, add a little more sugar to adjust the sweetness. Now it’s time to enjoy your fresh and healthy coleslaw!
