Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups (shredded) Green cabbage
- 1 cup (shredded) Carrots
- 0.5 cup (thinly sliced) Red onion
- 0.75 cup Mayonnaise
- 1.5 tablespoons Yellow mustard
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Celery seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Shred 6 cups of green cabbage using a chef’s knife, mandoline, or food processor, and transfer it to a large mixing bowl.
Add 1 cup of shredded carrots and 0.5 cups of thinly sliced red onion to the bowl with the cabbage.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, prepare the dressing by combining 0.75 cups of mayonnaise, 1.5 tablespoons of yellow mustard, 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon of celery seeds, 0.5 teaspoons of salt, and 0.25 teaspoons of black pepper. Whisk until smooth and fully blended.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture. Use a large spoon or tongs to toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated with dressing.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the coleslaw to an airtight container. Let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
Before serving, give the coleslaw a quick toss to redistribute the dressing.
Serve cold as a flavorful side dish or as a topping for barbecue sandwiches.
