Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Green cabbage
- 2 large Carrots
- 1 small Red onion
- 0.75 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Celery seed
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Remove the outer leaves from the green cabbage. Use a sharp knife or a food processor to shred the cabbage into thin strips and place in a large mixing bowl.
Peel the carrots and shred them using a box grater or food processor. Add the shredded carrots to the bowl with the cabbage.
Peel the red onion and slice it thinly. Add the slices to the bowl.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, celery seed, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage, carrots, and red onion mixture. Toss everything together thoroughly until the vegetables are well coated with the dressing.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together. For best results, refrigerate for 2-3 hours.
Before serving, give the coleslaw a quick toss to redistribute the dressing. Serve chilled as a side dish or as a topping for sandwiches or BBQ dishes.
