Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Green cabbage
- 1 large Carrot
- 0.5 small Red onion
- 3 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Celery seed
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded green cabbage, grated carrot, and thinly sliced red onion. Toss the vegetables together to mix them evenly.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, olive oil, and raw honey until well combined. This is the dressing for the coleslaw.
Add the celery seed, salt, and freshly ground black pepper to the dressing and whisk again to incorporate the spices.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture. Use salad tongs or two large spoons to toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
Taste the coleslaw and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper if desired.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the coleslaw for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Stir the coleslaw again before serving to distribute any dressing that may have settled at the bottom. Serve chilled and enjoy!
