Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head (about 2 pounds) green cabbage
- 2 large carrots
- 0.5 small red onion
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon celery seed
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage. Rinse and dry the remaining cabbage head. Cut it in half, remove the core, and finely shred it using a sharp knife, mandoline, or food processor.
Peel the carrots and grate them using a box grater or food processor. Finely dice the red onion.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, grated carrots, and red onion. Toss gently to mix.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, granulated sugar, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, celery seed, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture. Toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
Cover the coleslaw and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together. For the best flavor, refrigerate for 2-3 hours before serving.
Give the coleslaw a quick toss before serving. Serve chilled as a side dish. Enjoy!
