Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Green cabbage
- 2 cups Red cabbage
- 2 medium Carrots
- 0.5 cups Apple cider vinegar
- 0.25 cups Sugar
- 0.25 cups Olive oil
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
Instructions
Shred the green and red cabbage finely with a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer. Place them into a large mixing bowl.
Peel and grate the carrots using a box grater or food processor, then add the grated carrots to the bowl with the cabbage.
In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, sugar, olive oil, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until the sugar dissolves and the dressing is well combined.
Pour the dressing over the shredded vegetables in the mixing bowl.
Toss the coleslaw thoroughly to coat all the vegetables evenly in the dressing.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, give the coleslaw another toss and taste to adjust seasoning if needed. Serve chilled.
