Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Green cabbage
- 2 cups Red cabbage
- 2 medium Carrots
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Celery seed
Instructions
Thinly slice the green cabbage and red cabbage using a sharp knife, mandoline slicer, or food processor. You should have about 8 cups of combined cabbage.
Peel and grate the carrots using a box grater or food processor. Add them to the cabbage in a large mixing bowl.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, black pepper, and celery seed until smooth and well combined.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrots, and toss thoroughly to coat the vegetables evenly.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
Cover the coleslaw bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. For best results, chill for 2-3 hours.
Before serving, give the coleslaw a quick toss to redistribute the dressing. Serve cold as a side dish or topping for sandwiches and burgers.
