Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Green cabbage
- 0.5 medium head Red cabbage
- 3 large Carrots
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Celery seeds
Instructions
Remove any damaged outer leaves from the cabbages and rinse them under cold water. Pat dry.
Using a sharp knife, mandoline, or food processor, finely shred the green cabbage and red cabbage. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Peel and grate the carrots using a box grater or food processor. Add the grated carrots to the bowl with the cabbage.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, black pepper, and celery seeds until the dressing is smooth and well combined.
Pour the dressing over the shredded cabbage and carrots. Using tongs or a large spoon, toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
Taste the coleslaw and adjust seasoning if needed (add a pinch more salt, pepper, or vinegar if desired).
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the coleslaw to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, give the coleslaw a quick toss to redistribute the dressing. Serve chilled as a side dish or topping for burgers, sandwiches, or barbecue.
