Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head, about 2 pounds green cabbage
- 2 large, peeled carrots
- 0.5 small red onion
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon celery seed
Instructions
Remove the outer leaves from the cabbage and discard, then cut the cabbage into quarters and remove the core.
Thinly slice the cabbage quarters, cutting crosswise, into shreds using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer.
Place the shredded cabbage in a large mixing bowl.
Grate the carrots using a box grater or food processor and add them to the bowl with the cabbage.
Thinly slice the red onion into small, even strips and add to the bowl.
In a separate small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, sugar, salt, black pepper, and celery seed.
Whisk these ingredients together until they form a smooth and creamy dressing.
Pour the dressing over the shredded cabbage, carrots, and onion in the large bowl.
Toss all the ingredients together gently until the cabbage mixture is evenly coated with the dressing.
Cover the coleslaw and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving, allowing the flavors to meld.
Before serving, gently toss the coleslaw again and adjust any seasonings if necessary.
Serve chilled as a side dish or topping for sandwiches and enjoy.
