Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head (medium, approximately 2 pounds) Green cabbage
- 3 large Carrots
- 1 medium (yellow or red, finely chopped) Onion
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Distilled white vinegar
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground mustard
- 1 teaspoon Celery seed
Instructions
Rinse and core the cabbage, then thinly slice or shred it using a sharp knife, food processor, or mandoline. Place the shredded cabbage in a large bowl.
Peel and shred the carrots using a box grater or a food processor. Add the shredded carrots to the bowl with the cabbage.
Finely chop the onion and stir it into the bowl with the cabbage and carrots.
In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, distilled white vinegar, vegetable oil, salt, ground mustard, and celery seed. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Pour the warm dressing over the cabbage mixture, tossing gently to coat all the vegetables evenly.
Once fully mixed, transfer the coleslaw to an airtight container or a large glass jar. Cover tightly and refrigerate for at least 24 hours before serving to allow the flavors to develop. Stir occasionally during the marinating process.
The coleslaw will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 14 days. Serve chilled as a side dish or sandwich topping.
