Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups (shredded) Green cabbage
- 1 cup (shredded) Carrots
- 1 cup (shredded) Red cabbage
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup Sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded green cabbage, carrots, and red cabbage. Toss them together to evenly distribute the vegetables.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, sugar, salt, black pepper, and celery seeds until smooth and well combined.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture in the large bowl. Using a large spoon or tongs, gently toss the vegetables to ensure they are evenly coated with the dressing.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld together. (For best results, refrigerate for 2-3 hours.)
Before serving, give the coleslaw a final toss to redistribute the dressing.
Serve chilled as a side dish, or use it as a topping for pulled pork sandwiches, burgers, or tacos. Enjoy!
