Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Green cabbage
- 2 medium Carrots
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Celery seeds
- 0.75 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Remove the outer leaves and core from the green cabbage. Finely shred the cabbage using a sharp knife, mandoline slicer, or food processor.
Peel the carrots and grate them using a box grater or food processor.
Thinly slice the red onion into small strips or fine pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, grated carrots, and sliced red onion. Toss until evenly mixed.
In a smaller bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, celery seeds, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture in the large bowl. Using salad tongs or a spatula, gently toss to coat all the vegetables evenly in the dressing.
Taste and adjust for seasoning if needed. Add more salt, pepper, or vinegar based on your preference.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the coleslaw for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled as a side dish with your favorite Southern-inspired meal.
