A colourful twist on a crunchy classic. This red cabbage slaw is packed with sweet honey and mayo dressing and a pop of poppyseed flavour.
Making coleslaw with red cabbage adds an earthier flavour than traditional white cabbage, as well as adding a boost of extra nutrients. If you have one, use a mandolin to save time and slice the veggies thinly. There’s a fair bit of chopping and slicing involved, but throwing together this tasty side is a doddle. Perfect for BBQs and buffets, this red cabbage slaw will brighten up any meal. Definitely one of our favourite red cabbage recipes.
Ingredients

- 3-4 spring onions, sliced
- Salt and ground black pepper

Mix together the mayonnaise, honey and seasoning to taste and then stir in the poppy seeds. Stir in the cabbage, carrot and spring onions and season before serving.
