Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Green cabbage
- 2 medium Carrots
- 2 cups Red cabbage
- 0.75 cups Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Celery seeds
- 2 stalks Green onion (optional, sliced)
Instructions
Remove the outermost leaves of the green and red cabbages. Using a sharp knife, a mandoline, or a food processor, finely shred both cabbages to achieve about 6 cups of green cabbage and 2 cups of red cabbage. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
Peel the carrots and grate them using a box grater or a food processor. Add the grated carrots to the bowl with the shredded cabbages.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, and celery seeds until smooth and well-combined.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrot mixture. Use tongs or a large spoon to toss everything thoroughly, ensuring that the dressing coats the vegetables evenly.
If using green onions, slice them thinly and fold them into the coleslaw mixture for added flavor.
Cover the coleslaw and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. For best results, refrigerate for 2–3 hours.
Stir the coleslaw before serving and transfer to a serving dish. Serve chilled as a side dish for your favorite barbecue or deli meal.
