Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Green cabbage
- 0.5 medium head Red cabbage
- 2 medium Carrots
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Celery seed
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Remove any outer wilted leaves from the green and red cabbages. Cut each head of cabbage in half and remove the core.
Using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer, thinly shred the cabbage into fine strips. Set aside in a large mixing bowl.
Peel the carrots and grate them using a box grater or food processor. Add the grated carrots to the bowl with the cabbage.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, celery seed, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrot mixture.
Using tongs or two large spoons, toss the slaw until all the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Before serving, give the cole slaw another quick toss and adjust seasoning, if necessary, with additional salt or pepper.
