Ingredients
- 1 medium head green cabbage
- 2 large carrots
- 1 small red onion
- 0.5 cup white vinegar
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon celery seeds
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage and chop it into thin shreds using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer. Place the shredded cabbage in a large mixing bowl.
Step 2
Peel and grate the carrots. Add the grated carrots to the cabbage.
Step 3
Halve and thinly slice the red onion, then add it to the bowl with the cabbage and carrots.
Step 4
In a small bowl, whisk together the white vinegar, granulated sugar, olive oil, Dijon mustard, celery seeds, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Step 5
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated.
Step 6
Transfer the salad to an airtight container or cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the cabbage to soften slightly.
Step 7
Before serving, toss the salad again to redistribute the dressing. Serve chilled as a flavorful side dish.
