Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head (medium) Green cabbage
- 2 large Carrots
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 0.75 cup White sugar
- 0.75 cup White vinegar
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 1.5 teaspoons Celery seed
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage, then slice it in half and remove the core. Finely shred the cabbage using a sharp knife, mandoline, or food processor, and place it into a large mixing bowl.
Peel and grate the carrots using a box grater or food processor, and add them to the bowl with the cabbage.
Dice the red bell pepper into small pieces and add it to the vegetable mixture, tossing everything together to combine.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar, white vinegar, vegetable oil, celery seed, salt, and black pepper. Heat the mixture until the sugar is fully dissolved, stirring occasionally. This will take about 3-5 minutes.
Remove the dressing from the heat and let it cool slightly for a few minutes.
Pour the warm (not hot) dressing over the cabbage mixture. Toss thoroughly to ensure all the vegetables are evenly coated.
Transfer the coleslaw to an airtight glass or plastic container. Place it in the refrigerator and let it marinate for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
After 24 hours, give the coleslaw a good toss before serving. Enjoy this crisp, tangy, and flavorful coleslaw as a side dish or topping for sandwiches and burgers.
