Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Green cabbage
- 2 large Carrots
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Celery seed
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage, then cut it in half and remove the core. Using a sharp knife, thinly slice the cabbage into long, thin shreds. Alternatively, you can use a food processor with a shredding attachment.
Peel the carrots and shred them using a box grater or a food processor with a shredding disc.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, granulated sugar, celery seed, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until the dressing is smooth and fully combined.
Add the shredded cabbage and carrots to the bowl with the dressing. Toss thoroughly to ensure all the vegetables are evenly coated in the dressing.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together. For best results, refrigerate for 2-3 hours.
Before serving, give the coleslaw a good stir and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
Serve as a side dish or use as a topping for sandwiches and burgers. Enjoy!
