Ingredients

Instructions

  • Put the shredded cabbage and carrots into a large bowl.
  • In another smaller bowl, mix the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey, dijon mustard, salt and pepper together with a fork. Mix until the dressing is smooth. (note: taste it at this point and add more honey if you want it to be sweeter or more vinegar if you want more of a vinegar taste) 
  • Pour the dressing on top of the shredded cabbage and carrots and mix. Then, put the chia seeds on top and mix. Fold in the blueberries.
  • You can serve this coleslaw immediately ( it will be nice and crunchy). However, if you leave it in the fridge for a few hours- to overnight, all of the flavors seep into the cabbage and the cabbage becomes a bit less crunchy and a bit more flavorful.

Notes

  • Instead of honey, you can use maple syrup.
  • You can use a Vegan mayo, if you want this recipe to be Vegan. Just omit the honey and use maple syrup as well.
  • You can use Paleo mayo or make your own mayo, if you want this recipe to be Paleo.
  • You can omit the chia seeds if you don't want this in the recipe.
  • Instead of blueberries, you can use diced apples.
