Ingredients
- 4 cups green cabbage, finely shredded
- 1 cup purple cabbage, shredded
- 1 medium carrot, grated
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup blue cheese crumbles
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice or apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sugar or honey
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon milk (optional, for thinner dressing)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, add green cabbage, purple cabbage, and grated carrot.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, sugar, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
- Gently fold in the blue cheese crumbles, keeping some texture.
- Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture.
- Toss well until everything is evenly coated.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to blend.
- Serve chilled and garnish with extra blue cheese if desired.
Notes
- For a lighter version, use low-fat mayonnaise or Greek yogurt.

- Best served fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Do not freeze, as the dressing may separate.
