Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Green cabbage
- 1 large Carrot
- 0.5 cups Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1.5 tablespoons Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Onion powder (optional)
Instructions
Remove the tough outer leaves of the cabbage and rinse it under cold water. Slice the cabbage into thin shreds using a sharp knife or mandoline. Place the shredded cabbage into a large mixing bowl.
Peel the carrot and grate it using a box grater or food processor. Add the grated carrot to the bowl with the cabbage.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, black pepper, and onion powder (if using) until smooth and well combined.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrot mixture. Using tongs or clean hands, toss everything together until evenly coated.
Taste the coleslaw and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or sugar if needed.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Before serving, give the coleslaw one final toss to redistribute the dressing. Serve chilled as a side dish or sandwich topping.
