Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Green cabbage
- 2 large Carrots
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.75 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Thinly slice the green cabbage into fine shreds using a sharp knife, mandoline, or food processor. You should have about 6 cups of shredded cabbage.
Peel and grate the carrots using a box grater or the grating attachment on a food processor. Add the grated carrots to the shredded cabbage in a large mixing bowl.
In a medium bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, sugar, salt, and black pepper until smooth and fully combined.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrots mixture. Use tongs or a large spoon to toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the cole slaw for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
Before serving, give the cole slaw a final toss and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve chilled.
