Ingredients

• 6 cups Green cabbage
• 1 cup Carrots
• 1 cup Mayonnaise
• 0.33 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Pineapple juice
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon Celery seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Using a sharp knife or a food processor, finely shred the green cabbage. Place it in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Peel and grate the carrots, then add them to the bowl with the cabbage.

Step 3

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, granulated sugar, apple cider vinegar, pineapple juice, Dijon mustard, celery seeds, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well-combined.

Step 4

Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrot mixture. Toss thoroughly with tongs or a large spoon to evenly coat the vegetables in the dressing.

Step 5

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the coleslaw to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight) to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 6

Before serving, give the coleslaw a quick stir to redistribute the dressing. Serve chilled as a side dish to your favorite barbecue or grilled meals.
