How to Make Caesar Red Coleslaw

  1. **Make the Caesar Dressing:** In a small bowl, mash 1 teaspoon of salt with 2 cloves of garlic to create a paste.
  2. Add the garlic paste to a larger bowl with 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon paprika. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
  3. **Prep the Veggies:** In a large bowl, combine 1/2 medium red cabbage (thinly sliced), 1/2 cup shredded carrots, and 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions.
  4. **Combine & Toss:** Add the Caesar dressing to the vegetables. Gently toss until the vegetables are evenly coated.
  5. **Chill & Serve:** Cover the coleslaw and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or up to 4 hours) to allow the flavors to meld and the cabbage to crisp up.
  6. **Season & Enjoy:** Just before serving, add 1/2 teaspoon of salt (or to taste) to the coleslaw and gently toss again. Serve cold and enjoy!
