Ingredients

• 1 medium head Green cabbage
• 2 large Carrots
• 1 medium Green bell pepper
• 1 cup Sugar
• 1 cup White vinegar
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Celery seed
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Directions

Step 1

Finely shred the green cabbage using a sharp knife, mandoline slicer, or food processor. Place the shredded cabbage in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Peel and grate the carrots using a box grater or food processor, then add them to the bowl with the cabbage.

Step 3

Dice the green bell pepper into small pieces and combine it with the cabbage and carrots.

Step 4

In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, white vinegar, vegetable oil, salt, celery seed, and Dijon mustard. Whisk the mixture together over medium heat and bring it to a gentle boil to dissolve the sugar.

Step 5

Once the sugar has fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth, remove the saucepan from the heat and allow it to cool slightly for about 5 minutes.

Step 6

Pour the warm sweet and sour dressing over the cabbage, carrots, and bell pepper mixture. Toss everything well to ensure the vegetables are evenly coated in the dressing.

Step 7

Cover the bowl and refrigerate the coleslaw for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the cabbage to soften slightly.

Step 8

Before serving, toss the coleslaw again and transfer it to a serving dish. Serve chilled.
