Ingredients

• 1 medium head green cabbage
• 2 large carrot
• 0.5 medium red onion
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon celery seed
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the vegetables. Remove the outer leaves from the cabbage and cut it in half. Remove the core and thinly slice the cabbage into shreds or use a mandoline for more uniform slices.

Step 2

Peel the carrots and grate them using a box grater or food processor.

Step 3

Slice the red onion thinly. Combine the cabbage, carrots, and onion in a large mixing bowl.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, Dijon mustard, celery seed, salt, and pepper until smooth and well blended.

Step 5

Pour the dressing over the shredded vegetables and toss well to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated.

Step 6

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. This allows the flavors to meld together and the coleslaw to become creamier.

Step 7

Before serving, give the coleslaw a good stir and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Step 8

Serve chilled as a side dish.
