Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups (shredded) red cabbage
- 2 cups (shredded) green cabbage
- 1 large (peeled and shredded) carrot
- 0.5 small (thinly sliced) red onion
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey or sugar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon (adjust to taste) salt
- 0.25 teaspoon (or to taste) black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon celery seeds (optional)
Instructions
Prepare the vegetables: Using a sharp knife, mandoline, or food processor, shred the red cabbage, green cabbage, and carrot. Thinly slice the red onion. Place all the shredded and sliced vegetables into a large mixing bowl.
Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey or sugar, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, and celery seeds (if using). Mix until smooth and well combined.
Combine the coleslaw: Pour the dressing over the shredded vegetables in the large mixing bowl. Toss everything together thoroughly, making sure the dressing coats the vegetables evenly.
Taste and adjust: Taste the coleslaw and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or a touch of vinegar to suit your preference.
Refrigerate: Cover the coleslaw bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. This step is optional but recommended for the best taste.
Serve: Give the coleslaw a final toss before serving. Serve chilled as a side dish or enjoy as a topping for sandwiches, tacos, or sliders.
