Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head (about 2.5 lbs) Green cabbage
- 2 large Carrots
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Celery seed
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Remove any outer wilted leaves from the green cabbage. Cut the cabbage in half, remove the core, and finely shred it using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer. Place the shredded cabbage in a large mixing bowl.
Peel the carrots and grate them using a box grater or the shredding attachment of a food processor. Add the grated carrots to the bowl with the cabbage.
In a separate smaller mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, granulated sugar, Dijon mustard, celery seed, salt, and black pepper. Whisk the dressing together until smooth and well-blended.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrots. Use a large spoon or tongs to toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour to allow the flavors to meld. For best results, let it chill for 2-3 hours.
Before serving, give the coleslaw a quick toss to redistribute the dressing. Serve cold as a side dish with your favorite deli dishes or barbecue meals.
