1

Chop and Shred

Start by shredding half a head of green cabbage and half a head of purple cabbage. Make sure to remove any tough outer leaves before slicing. Next, finely chop a large carrot and a red bell pepper. You can also add some thinly sliced red onion for extra flavor. Combine all the vegetables in a large bowl and give them a good toss.

2

Whisk and Mix

In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of mayonnaise, 1/4 cup of sour cream, 2 tablespoons of dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, and 1 tablespoon of honey. Season the dressing with salt, pepper, and a pinch of cayenne pepper for that zesty kick. Pour the dressing over the chopped vegetables and toss until everything is well coated.

3

Add Crunch and Flavor

Time to add some crunch! Crush a cup of crispy tortilla chips and sprinkle them over the coleslaw. They'll give your slaw an extra crispy texture. For an additional burst of flavor, toss in a handful of freshly chopped cilantro and the juice of half a lime. Give it a final toss to distribute all the goodness evenly.

4

Chill and Serve

Cover the coleslaw with plastic wrap and chill it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. When you're ready to serve, give it a quick stir and garnish with some more cilantro leaves. Your zesty and crunchy coleslaw is now ready to wow your taste buds!
