Ingredients
- 6 cups, shredded Green cabbage
- 2 cups, shredded Red cabbage
- 1 cup, shredded Carrots
- 1 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Celery seeds

Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded green cabbage, red cabbage, and carrots. Toss together until evenly mixed.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, granulated sugar, olive oil, Dijon mustard, celery seeds, salt, and black pepper until the sugar dissolves and the dressing is well-combined.
Pour the vinegar-based dressing over the cabbage and carrot mixture.
Using tongs or a large spoon, toss the coleslaw thoroughly to ensure all the vegetables are coated evenly with the dressing.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the coleslaw for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together. For best results, refrigerate for 2–3 hours.
Before serving, give the coleslaw another quick toss and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Serve chilled as a side dish and enjoy!
