Quick Apple Cider Vinegar Coleslaw (No Mayo!)
This healthy, mayo-free apple cider coleslaw is light, tangy, and zesty. Ready in minutes, this quick recipe uses crunchy shredded green cabbage tossed in an apple cider vinegar dressing. It’s terrific as a standalone side dish, or a tasty topping for sandwiches, burgers, and tacos.
For the perfect veggie-to-dressing ratio, be sure to add the dressing slowly until you reach your desired amount, because you’ll likely have some leftover and you don’t want to oversaturate the shredded veggies. Once everything is mixed together, serve immediately or let the bowl sit in the fridge for a few hours so the flavors can sink in and mingle. Hope you love it!
