Ingredients

• 1 head (medium) Green cabbage
• 2 medium Carrots
• 1 cup Mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Celery seed
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

1. Remove any wilted outer leaves from the cabbage. Cut the cabbage into quarters, remove the core, and thinly slice using a sharp knife or a mandoline. Transfer the shredded cabbage to a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

2. Peel the carrots and grate them using a box grater or a food processor with a grating attachment. Add the shredded carrots to the bowl with the cabbage.

Step 3

3. In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, celery seed, salt, and black pepper until the dressing is smooth and well combined.

Step 4

4. Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrots. Toss everything together using tongs until the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.

Step 5

5. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. (For best results, let it sit for 2-3 hours.)

Step 6

6. Before serving, give the coleslaw a good toss, and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper to taste if needed.

Step 7

7. Serve chilled as a side dish or as a topping for pulled pork sandwiches, burgers, or grilled meats. Enjoy!
