Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Green cabbage
- 0.5 medium head Red cabbage
- 2 large Carrots
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 0.75 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Hot sauce
- 1 teaspoon Celery seed
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Remove the outer leaves and core from the green and red cabbage. Slice both cabbages into thin shreds with a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer and place in a large mixing bowl.
Peel and grate the carrots using a box grater or shred them using a food processor. Add them to the mixing bowl with the cabbage.
Finely slice the red onion into thin strips and add it to the bowl with the other vegetables.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, hot sauce, celery seed, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture. Using clean hands or tongs, toss until the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
Taste the coleslaw and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt, pepper, or hot sauce if desired.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled as a side dish, or use it as a topping for sandwiches, tacos, or burgers for an extra kick.
