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 to make the vegetable base of the slaw.
  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 well combined, creating a balanced sweet and spicy dressing.
  3. Combine: Pour the prepared dressing over the vegetable mixture. Use a large spoon or tongs to toss everything thoroughly so that all the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
  4. Chill: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the slaw for at least one hour. This chilling step allows the flavors to meld together and the slaw to develop a more vibrant taste.
  5. Serve: After chilling, toss the slaw again to redistribute the dressing evenly before serving. Enjoy this zesty Sweet & Spicy Pickle Slaw as a side dish, sandwich topping, or refreshing snack.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt.
  • Adjust the amount of Sriracha to control the level of spiciness.
  • This slaw can be made a day in advance for deeper flavor.
  • Keep the slaw refrigerated and consume within 3 days for best freshness.
