Ingredients
1 small head Green Cabbage, thinly shredded
2 medium Carrots, finely grated
1 cup mayonnaise
0.5 cup smoky, non-alcoholic barbecue sauce
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon celery seeds
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Slice the cabbage into thin shreds using a sharp knife or food processor.
Grate the peeled carrots using a box grater.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, barbecue sauce, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper until smooth.
In a separate large mixing bowl, toss the cabbage and carrots until evenly combined.
Pour the dressing over the vegetables and fold everything together with tongs until thoroughly coated.
Refrigerate for at least one hour before serving to ensure the flavors meld perfectly.
Notes
Salt the cabbage lightly before adding the dressing to draw out excess moisture and preserve the crunch.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Choose a molasses-based or smoky blended barbecue sauce to maximize the flavor profile.
