A quick and creamy coleslaw recipe that uses the Instant Pot to speed up prep and chilling time, delivering a tangy, sweet, and crunchy side dish in just 10 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups green cabbage, finely shredded
  • 1 cup carrots, grated
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon celery seed (optional)

Instructions

  1. Using a box grater or food processor, finely shred about 4 cups of green cabbage. Grate 1 cup of carrots and thinly slice 1/4 cup of red onion.
  2. Toss the shredded cabbage, carrots, and sliced onion in a large mixing bowl. Mix gently to evenly distribute.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon honey, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and optional 1/4 teaspoon celery seed until smooth and creamy.
  4. Pour the dressing over the shredded veggies and toss gently but thoroughly to coat evenly.
  5. Pour the coleslaw into the Instant Pot insert (clean and dry). Close the lid (no pressure) and use the ‘Keep Warm’ setting for 10 minutes to chill and meld flavors.
  6. After chilling, open the lid, give the coleslaw a final gentle toss. Taste and adjust salt or honey if needed. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready.

Notes

Do not overshred the cabbage to avoid mushiness. Use fresh, crisp vegetables. Whisk dressing well to dissolve honey fully. Chilling in the Instant Pot speeds flavor melding but can be substituted with fridge chilling for 20-30 minutes. Taste before serving and adjust seasoning. The coleslaw tastes better after a few hours or overnight. For vegan version, substitute mayonnaise with vegan mayo and honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
