Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large head green cabbage
- 2 medium carrots
- 0.5 small red onion
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon celery seed
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Cut the green cabbage in half and remove the core. Thinly slice the cabbage or use a mandolin for uniform slices. Place the sliced cabbage in a large mixing bowl.
Peel the carrots and grate them using a cheese grater or food processor. Add the grated carrots to the bowl with the cabbage.
Halve the red onion and slice it thinly. Add the sliced onions to the bowl with the cabbage and carrots.
In a separate small mixing bowl, combine the Whole30 compliant mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, celery seed, sea salt, and black pepper. Whisk until you have a smooth dressing.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage, carrot, and onion mixture.
Using tongs or clean hands, toss the vegetables and dressing together until the coleslaw is well coated.
Taste the coleslaw and adjust seasoning if necessary with additional salt or pepper.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, give the coleslaw a final toss and transfer to a serving dish.
