Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Green cabbage, finely shredded
- 1 cup Carrots, peeled and julienned
- 0.5 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
- 0.75 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Celery seeds
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded green cabbage, julienned carrots, and sliced red onion. Toss to mix evenly.
In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, sugar, celery seeds, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture. Use tongs or a large spoon to thoroughly toss and coat the vegetables with the dressing.
Transfer the coleslaw to an airtight container or cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the cabbage to soften slightly.
Before serving, toss the coleslaw again to redistribute the dressing. Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt or pepper if needed.
Serve chilled as a side dish alongside your favorite entrees. Enjoy!
