Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head (medium) Green cabbage
- 2 large Carrots
- 1 small Red onion
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Celery seed
Instructions
Remove any outer leaves from the cabbage and rinse it thoroughly. Cut the cabbage in half, remove the core, and finely shred it using a sharp knife, mandoline, or food processor.
Peel the carrots, then grate them using a box grater or food processor.
Peel and thinly slice the red onion into very fine strips.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, grated carrots, and sliced red onion. Toss well to evenly distribute the vegetables.
In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, black pepper, and celery seed to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the mixed vegetables and toss thoroughly until all the vegetables are evenly coated.
Taste the coleslaw and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or a splash of vinegar for extra tanginess.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
Before serving, toss the coleslaw one final time and transfer to a serving bowl or platter.
