Ingredients
Vegetables
- 300g green cabbage, finely shredded
- 200g red cabbage, finely shredded
- 150g carrots, finely shredded
- 3 spring onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, roughly chopped
Dressing
- 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar (natural)
- 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1 teaspoon mustard (natural)
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Vegetables: Start by finely shredding the green and red cabbage along with the carrots. Slice the spring onions thinly and roughly chop the parsley. The key is to keep the veggies crisp and fresh, providing a wonderful texture once mixed.
- Mix the Dressing: In a bowl, whisk together apple cider vinegar (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), mustard (natural), olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Slowly sprinkle in the natural gelling agent while whisking continuously to create a creamy yet light dressing that will coat the veggies perfectly.
- Combine Vegetables and Dressing: Pour the dressing over the shredded vegetables, then toss everything together using your hands or tongs. Make sure every strand of cabbage and carrot is evenly coated with that zesty, flavorful dressing.
- Let It Rest: Allow the coleslaw to sit in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving. This resting time lets the flavors meld beautifully while maintaining a crisp freshness that makes Gordon Ramsay’s Crunchy Coleslaw truly memorable.
Notes
- Use the freshest vegetables you can find to maximize crunch and flavor.
- Thinly slice cabbages for a smoother mix and a more pleasant mouthfeel.
- Refrigerate the coleslaw to help the flavors blend and keep it refreshingly crisp.
- Tweak the amount of apple cider vinegar (natural) to find your perfect tang balance.
- Use quality olive oil to lift the dressing and add richness without heaviness.
