A vibrant, Sweet & Spicy Pickle Slaw combining crunchy green cabbage, sweet carrots, and tangy dill pickles tossed in a creamy, zesty dressing featuring Sriracha, honey, and apple cider vinegar. Perfect as a refreshing side dish or topping.

Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 4 cups green cabbage, shredded
  • 1 cup carrots, grated
  • ½ cup dill pickles, chopped
  • ¼ cup red onion, thinly sliced

Dressing

  • ½ cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt)
  • 2 tbsp Sriracha sauce
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

Instructions

  1. Prep the Vegetables: Shred the green cabbage finely and grate the carrots. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, grated carrots, chopped dill pickles, and thinly sliced red onion, ensuring the vegetables are evenly mixed.
  2. Make the Dressing: In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise or Greek yogurt, Sriracha sauce, honey, and apple cider vinegar until the mixture is smooth and all ingredients are well incorporated.
  3. Combine: Pour the prepared dressing over the vegetable mixture. Toss thoroughly to evenly coat all the ingredients with the dressing for balanced flavor in every bite.
  4. Chill: Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the slaw for at least one hour. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld and intensify.
  5. Serve: Before serving, toss the slaw once more to redistribute any dressing that may have settled. Serve chilled as a delicious, tangy side dish or topping.

Notes

  • For a lighter option, substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt as indicated.
  • Adjust the Sriracha quantity to vary the heat level according to your preference.
  • This slaw can be prepared up to a day ahead to enhance flavor melding, but stir well before serving.
  • Keep refrigerated and consume within 2-3 days for optimal freshness.
  • Add chopped fresh herbs such as cilantro or parsley for extra brightness if desired.
