Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Green cabbage
- 1 large Carrot
- 0.5 cups Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1.5 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Finely shred the green cabbage using a sharp knife, mandoline, or food processor until you have approximately 4 cups of shredded cabbage. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
Peel and grate the carrot using a box grater or the grating attachment on a food processor. Add the grated carrot to the bowl with the cabbage.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrot mixture. Toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated in the dressing.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or sugar if desired.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. This step is optional but recommended for best results.
Before serving, give the cole slaw a quick toss to redistribute the dressing. Serve chilled as a side dish or a topping for sandwiches and burgers.
