Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by preparing the fresh vegetables for your Sweet & Spicy Pickle Slaw. Shred about 4 cups of green cabbage and grate 2 large carrots, using a box grater or food processor for ease. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage and grated carrots with 1 cup of chopped pickles and half a diced red onion.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together ½ cup of mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons of Sriracha sauce, 2 tablespoons of honey, and 3 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar. Ensure the dressing is smooth and well-combined.
  3. Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture in the large bowl and toss everything together until the vegetables are thoroughly coated.
  4. Cover your bowl with plastic wrap or a lid, and place it in the refrigerator. Let the slaw chill for at least 1 hour.
  5. Before serving, give the slaw a quick toss to redistribute the dressing and flavors. Dish out your Sweet & Spicy Pickle Slaw into serving bowls.
