2 carrots, grated

1 red onion, thinly sliced

1 apple, thinly sliced (optional, for sweetness)

For the Dressing:

1/2 cup mayonnaise

2 tablespoons sour cream

2 tablespoons white wine vinegar

1 tablespoon Dutch mustard

1 tablespoon honey or sugar

Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions:


Prepare Vegetables:

Finely shred the green cabbage, grate the carrots, thinly slice the red onion, and optionally, thinly slice the apple. Place all the vegetables in a large mixing bowl.


Make the Dressing:

Combine and Toss:

Pour the dressing over the shredded vegetables. Toss everything together until the vegetables are well coated with the dressing.

Cover the coleslaw and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours before serving. This allows the flavors to meld, and the coleslaw becomes crisp and refreshing.


Serve:

Just before serving, toss the coleslaw once more. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for added freshness and color.


Optional Additions:

Customize your coleslaw by adding extras like raisins, sunflower seeds, or chopped nuts for additional texture and flavor.
