Hearty Garlic Slaw
This isn’t just any slaw; this is a slaw with spunk! Packed with crunch and garlic goodness, it’s the perfect sidekick to any meal or a star on its own.
Ingredients:
- 1 small head green cabbage, shredded
- 2 large carrots, grated
- 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced (because more garlic is never a bad idea)
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for a lighter version)
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (but who needs garnish when you have garlic?!)
Instructions:
- First things first, let’s give those veggies a good chop! Shred the cabbage, grate the carrots, and slice the red onion. Just remember, no finger injuries allowed!
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, grated carrots, and sliced red onion. This colorful mix is the life of the party!
- Now, let’s create our dressing! In a separate bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, mayonnaise (or yogurt), apple cider vinegar, and Dijon mustard. It should be creamy, tangy, and just a little zesty—like a good comedy routine!
- Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture. Don’t be shy—slather it on generously! Toss until all those crunchy veggies are well-coated and happy.
- Add salt and pepper to taste, and if you’re feeling adventurous, throw in some chopped parsley for that pop of color (but let’s be real, it’s the garlic that steals the show).
- For the best flavors, let your slaw chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to an hour. This will allow all the flavors to mingle and become best friends.
Once it’s ready, serve it up and prepare for the compliments! This Hearty Garlic Slaw is not just a side dish; it’s a flavor bomb that’s sure to create some memorable moments around the dinner table. Enjoy!
