Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl

Ingredients
  

  • ¾ cup creamy mayonnaise
  • 8 cups shredded or finely chopped cabbage
  • 1 cup shredded or finely chopped carrot
  • 1 cup thinly sliced celery
  • ¼ cup crumbled blue cheese
  • ¼ cup thinly sliced green onions
  • 4 tablespoons hot sauce
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons honey or granulated sugar, optional for sweetness
  • ½ teaspoon fine salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard optional, for added tang
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika optional, for a smoky flavor

Instructions
 

  • Start by gathering all your ingredients. It makes the process smoother and quicker. Shred the cabbage and carrots finely. Likewise, slice the celery and green onions. You want everything to be uniform to ensure an even distribution of flavors.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the creamy mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, black pepper, and hot sauce. If you're interested in that extra kick, feel free to toss in the Dijon mustard and smoked paprika. We want everything to blend seamlessly.
  • Incorporate the cabbage, sliced carrot, celery, green onions, and blue cheese crumbles into the mixing bowl. Stir thoroughly until each piece is coated in that creamy goodness. It should look vibrant and inviting.
  • Cover the bowl and let it sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to mingle and develop. When you’re ready to serve, give it a gentle stir and enjoy alongside your favorite dishes.

Notes

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh cabbage and crispy vegetables can make or break the coleslaw. Don’t skimp on quality.
  • Taste as You Go: Adjust the hot sauce and honey according to your taste preference. Some might prefer a spicier version.
  • Let It Chill: Allow this dish to cool in the refrigerator. The flavors blend beautifully over time.
  • Customize It: Don’t hesitate to add or replace ingredients based on what you enjoy. Try adding crushed pineapple for sweetness or jalapeños for heat.
  • Keep it Crisp: If you're making it ahead of time, store the dressing separately and combine it with the shredded veggies just before serving.
