• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Thinly slice the green and purple cabbage using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer. Add the cabbage to a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Peel and grate the carrots. Slice the red onion thinly into slivers. Add both to the bowl with the cabbage.

In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, maple syrup, olive oil, celery seeds, salt, and black pepper until the dressing is well combined.

Step 4

Pour the dressing over the vegetables in the bowl.

Step 5

Using clean hands or tongs, toss everything together until the dressing evenly coats the vegetables.

Step 6

Let the coleslaw sit for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. For best results, refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving.
