Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Green cabbage
- 2 large Carrots
- 1 medium Green bell pepper
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Celery seed
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Remove the outer leaves from the cabbage. Cut it into quarters, remove the core, and finely chop the cabbage into small, bite-sized pieces using a sharp knife.
Peel and grate the carrots using a box grater or food processor, or finely chop them with a knife for even texture.
Deseed and finely dice the green bell pepper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped cabbage, grated carrots, and diced green bell pepper.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, granulated sugar, celery seed, kosher salt, and black pepper until fully combined and smooth.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture. Using a sturdy spoon or spatula, toss the coleslaw until all ingredients are evenly coated.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt or pepper to taste.
Chill the coleslaw in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve cold as a standalone side dish or as a topping for barbecue sandwiches or pulled pork.
