Instructions

  • Start by shredding your cabbage and carrots, dicing your apple, chopping your cilantro, and slicing your green onion.
    ½ medium white cabbage, 1 large carrot, 3 medium green onions, 1 large red apple, ½ bunch cilantro
  • To make the dressing, whisk together the mayonnaise, yogurt, lime juice, salt, pepper, and Sriracha. Taste, and adjust the seasonings if necessary.
    ¼ cup mayonnaise, ¼ cup plain yogurt, 1 lime, ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, ¼ teaspoon salt, 1 Tablespoon Sriracha
  • Add the cabbage, carrot, green onions, cilantro, and apple to a large bowl, and pour the dressing over top. Toss to combine well.
  • Let the coleslaw rest for 10-15 minutes, and toss again just before serving.

Notes

  • Nutrition values are an estimate only.
  • I prefer shredding my own cabbage for this recipe, as it's much more tender and delicious, but if you want to save time and use a bag of shredded coleslaw mix, this works out to about 8 cups of shredded veg total, including the cabbage and the carrot, or about 500 grams/18oz of shredded veg.
  • Refrigerate leftover spicy coleslaw in an airtight container for 3 to 4 days; give it a good stir before serving to redistribute the dressing.
