Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups (shredded) Green cabbage
- 1 cup (shredded) Carrots
- 0.5 cup (thinly sliced) Red onion
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons White vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Celery seeds
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Start by preparing the vegetables. Shred the green cabbage and carrots, and thinly slice the red onion. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
In a separate smaller bowl, prepare the dressing. Whisk together the mayonnaise, white vinegar, granulated sugar, Dijon mustard, celery seeds, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Pour the dressing over the shredded vegetables in the large mixing bowl.
Using two large spoons or salad tongs, toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the coleslaw for at least 1 hour. This allows the flavors to meld together and enhances the texture.
Before serving, give the coleslaw a final toss to redistribute the dressing.
Serve chilled as a side dish for barbecued meats, sandwiches, or burgers. Enjoy!
