Ingredients
- 1 medium head Green cabbage
- 0.5 medium head Red cabbage
- 2 large Carrots
- 4 stalks Green onions
- 0.75 cup Mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1.5 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Celery seeds
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Remove the outer leaves from the green and red cabbage, then cut each head into quarters. Remove and discard the cores.
Using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer, finely shred the green and red cabbage. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
Peel and grate the carrots using a box grater or food processor. Add the grated carrots to the bowl with the shredded cabbage.
Thinly slice the green onions and add them to the bowl.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, celery seeds, salt, and black pepper until the dressing is smooth and well combined.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage, carrots, and green onions. Toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated in the dressing.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
Before serving, give the cole slaw a gentle toss and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Serve chilled as a side dish to complement your favorite barbecue, burgers, or grilled meats.
