Equipment

Large mixing bowl
Whisk
Grater or julienne peeler
Zester or grater
Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients

Cabbage mix

½ head green cabbage, thinly sliced about 1 lb / 450g
¼ head red cabbage, thinly sliced about 1/2 lb / 225g
2 medium carrots, julienned about 4 oz / 113g

Dressing

½ cup mayonnaise 120ml
¼ cup sour cream 60ml
3 tbsp lime juice 45ml
1 tbsp lime zest from about 2 limes
¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped 4g
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar 15ml
1 tsp granulated erythritol 4g
½ tsp ground cumin
¼ tsp garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine the thinly sliced green and red cabbage with the julienned carrots. Toss to mix well.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, lime zest, chopped cilantro, apple cider vinegar, erythritol, ground cumin, and garlic powder until smooth and well-combined.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mix and toss thoroughly to ensure all the vegetables are coated evenly with the dressing.
Season the coleslaw with salt and pepper to taste. For the best flavor, let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Before serving, give the coleslaw a final stir to redistribute the dressing and flavors.

Notes

For a dairy-free version, substitute the sour cream with a dairy-free alternative or simply use extra mayonnaise.

To enhance the cilantro flavor, you can add more chopped cilantro to taste.

If you prefer a thinner dressing, add a tablespoon of water or more lime juice to achieve the desired consistency.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
