30 minutes
Coleslaw with orange dressing is a bright, refreshing salad that combines crunchy cabbage, sweet carrots, and zesty cilantro. Its roots trace back to European cuisine, but the citrus dressing gives it an unusual, almost exotic flavor. The light sweet-and-sour orange sauce with mustard and honey makes the salad's texture juicy and rich while adding a subtle spicy note. This salad is perfect as a side dish for meat dishes or as a standalone light meal. Thanks to the freshness of the ingredients, it not only delights the taste but also energizes you, and its colorful palette makes it a true table decoration.
