My cabbages! coleslaw

Name inspired from Avatar: The Last Airbender LOL but it has otherwise nothing to do with it. It’s a simple (mother-inspired) coleslaw/salad mix. And yes there are definitely cabbages involved.

Ingredients
  • Purple/red cabbage, half, thinly cut
  • Green cabbage, half, thinly cut
  • Cocojune plain yogurt (mayo sub), ~3-4 tbsp
    • Option to mix 1:3 ratio of regular mayo and a vegan one
    • (I’m not always a fan of the taste of regular mayo...)
  • Apple cider vinegar to taste
  • Fresh, crushed garlic (1 to 2 cloves depending on your taste)
  • Chopped cilantro

Add-ons:

  • Radish, julienned
  • Carrot, julienned
  • Optional: a tiny bit of a spicy pepper (like serrano hehehe) can give it a nice, occasional kick
  • Optional to taste: a bit of lime
Directions

Finely shred everything, or julienne the veggies. Throw vegetables in a bowl, mix together with yogurt, a bit of vinegar, garlic, salt, pepper, and a little cumin as well. I like to add in the smallest bit of spicy pepper, chopped finely, so that it occasionally gives it a pop. But I like spice. Also, a bit of lime can be nice, but sometimes it isn’t necessary with the acidity of the vinegar. Serve as a side dish.

Reference (hehe)
Launch day side note

Still figuring out how I’d like to write down measurements. I don’t typically measure (lol), I assess depending on how much I'd like to make and adjust accordingly, but I know this isn’t helpful for a website with recipes! I go back and forth from precision a la baker or none at all.
