Brighten up your next meal with "My Favorite Tangy Coleslaw," a crisp and refreshing side dish bursting with zesty flavors. This quick and easy recipe combines crunchy shredded green cabbage, sweet carrots, and aromatic red onion, all tossed in a creamy dressing made with tangy apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, and a hint of honey for balance. A pinch of celery seed adds a unique touch, while just 15 minutes of prep makes it perfect for busy weeknights or backyard barbecues. Ideal as a summer side dish or a topping for pulled pork sandwiches, this coleslaw is best served chilled after resting to let the bold, vibrant flavors meld together.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded green cabbage, shredded carrot, and thinly sliced red onion.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, celery seed, salt, and ground black pepper until the dressing is smooth and well combined.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the coleslaw for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Before serving, give the coleslaw a quick toss to redistribute the dressing. Serve chilled and enjoy!
