Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups green cabbage, shredded
  • 2 cups red cabbage, shredded
  • 1 cup fresh radishes, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup carrots, shredded
  • 1 cup juicy blueberries
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Optional: 2 tablespoons fresh parsley or dill, chopped
  • Optional: 2 tablespoons chopped green onions

Instructions

  1. Rinse the cabbages, carrots, radishes, and blueberries under cold water and shake off excess moisture.
  2. Thinly slice the radishes and shred the green and red cabbage finely (about 4 cups green and 2 cups red). Shred the carrots using a grater or food processor. Transfer all to a large mixing bowl.
  3. Gently fold in the blueberries to the bowl with the shredded veggies, being careful not to crush them.
  4. In a separate small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  5. Pour the dressing over the veggie and blueberry mix and toss gently but thoroughly to coat evenly. Fold in herbs or green onions if using.
  6. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let flavors meld and the coleslaw crisp up.
  7. Just before serving, give the coleslaw a quick toss and taste for seasoning. Add more salt or pepper if needed. Serve chilled or at cool room temperature.

Notes

Keep veggies crisp by rinsing and drying thoroughly after shredding. Fold blueberries in gently to avoid bruising. Make ahead by prepping veggies and dressing separately; add blueberries just before serving. Thin dressing with water or lemon juice if too thick. Variations include vegan mayo or avocado for vegan version, seasonal fruit swaps, and adding spicy elements like jalapeños.
