Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Celery seed
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Whole milk (optional for lighter texture)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, and granulated sugar.
Whisk the mixture until the sugar has dissolved and the dressing is smooth.
Add the Dijon mustard, celery seed, salt, and black pepper to the bowl.
Whisk again until all the ingredients are fully combined and no lumps remain.
If you prefer a slightly thinner dressing, stir in the whole milk one tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
Use immediately by tossing with shredded cabbage and carrots, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
