Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 5 cups Green cabbage
- 0.5 cup Carrot
- 0.75 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Granular erythritol (or other sugar-free sweetener)
- 1 teaspoon Celery seed
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
1. Start by preparing the vegetables. Thinly slice green cabbage into fine shreds using a sharp knife or mandoline slicer. Place the shredded cabbage in a large mixing bowl.
2. Grate the carrot finely and add it to the bowl with the cabbage.
3. In a separate smaller bowl, prepare the dressing. Combine mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, granular erythritol, celery seed, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until the dressing is smooth and creamy.
4. Pour the dressing over the shredded cabbage and carrot mixture. Use tongs or a large spoon to toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
5. Taste the coleslaw and adjust seasoning if needed by adding more salt, pepper, or sweetener to suit your preference.
6. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld together.
7. Before serving, toss the coleslaw again to redistribute the dressing. Serve chilled as a side dish.
