Ingredients

• 1 medium head Green cabbage
• 2 large Carrots
• 1 cup Mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Yellow mustard
• 1 teaspoon Celery seed
• 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Remove the outer leaves from the cabbage, and cut the head in half. Remove the core from each half.

Step 2

Using a sharp knife, mandoline slicer, or food processor, finely shred the cabbage into thin strips. Place the shredded cabbage into a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Peel and grate the carrots either using a box grater or a food processor. Add the grated carrots to the bowl with the shredded cabbage.

Step 4

In a separate small bowl, prepare the dressing by combining the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, granulated sugar, yellow mustard, celery seed, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Whisk until smooth and fully combined.

Step 5

Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrot mixture. Use tongs or a large spoon to toss everything together until all the vegetables are evenly coated in the dressing.

Step 6

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together. For best results, let it rest for up to 3 hours.

Step 7

Before serving, give the coleslaw a quick toss to redistribute the dressing. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.

Step 8

Serve chilled as a side dish or as a crunchy topping for barbecue sandwiches or sliders.
