Servings: 6–8

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup mayonnaise

  • 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice

  • 2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar

  • 1 tsp kosher salt

  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

  • 1 tsp Tuscan Evening (Flavor Expedition Co.)

  • 1/3 cup minced red onion

  • 1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro or parsley

  • 4 cups thinly sliced green cabbage

  • 4 cups thinly sliced red cabbage

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Prep the veggies:
Slice, shred, or chop your green and red cabbage, onion, and fresh herbs. Add them to a large mixing bowl.

2. Add the magic:
Sprinkle in Tuscan Evening and give everything a good toss so those herbs coat every shred of cabbage.

3. Whip up the dressing:
In a separate bowl or jar, combine mayonnaise, fresh lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.

4. Marry dressing and slaw:
Pour the dressing over your seasoned cabbage mixture. Use tongs or a spatula to combine evenly, ensuring every bite gets that tangy herb goodness.

5. Chill out:
Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Want it extra soft and flavorful? Let it hang out longer—your patience will be rewarded.

Tips & Notes:

  • Make this slaw a day ahead—the flavors get even better after chilling overnight.

  • Swap cilantro for parsley if you prefer a milder herb flavor.

  • Perfect as a topping for shrimp tacos, burgers, pulled pork, or as a crunchy, refreshing side.

Cabbage just became your new best friend. Sweet, tangy, and herby, this coleslaw is proof that a little seasoning magic from Tuscan Evening can turn humble veggies into a star side dish.
