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 (opens in new tab).
Ingredients
- 4 tbsps mayonnaise
- 1-2 tsps honey
- 1 tbsp poppy seeds
- 1⁄4 red cabbage, finely shredded
- 1-2 carrots, peeled and grated
- 3-4 spring onions, sliced
- Salt and ground black pepper

Top tips for making this red cabbage slaw
