Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Green cabbage
- 2 cups Red cabbage
- 2 medium Carrots
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 0.25 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Celery seed
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Thinly slice the green cabbage and red cabbage using a sharp knife, mandoline, or food processor. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Peel and grate the carrots, then add them to the bowl with the cabbage.
Finely slice the red onion into thin half-moons and add them to the bowl as well.
In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option), olive oil, celery seed, salt, and black pepper until the dressing is emulsified and smooth.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss thoroughly until the vegetables are evenly coated.
Let the coleslaw sit for at least 10 minutes at room temperature to allow the flavors to meld. For a deeper flavor, refrigerate for 1-2 hours before serving.
Taste the coleslaw and adjust seasoning if needed with additional salt, pepper, or a splash more vinegar for extra tanginess.
Serve chilled or at room temperature as a side dish or topping for sandwiches, burgers, or wraps.
