Ingredients

• 1 medium head Green cabbage

• 2 large Carrots
• 0.5 medium Red onion
• 0.75 cup Mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 2 teaspoons Honey
• 1 teaspoon Hot sauce
• 1 teaspoon Celery seed
• 1 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Remove the outer leaves and core from the green and red cabbage. Slice both cabbages into thin shreds with a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer and place in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Peel and grate the carrots using a box grater or shred them using a food processor. Add them to the mixing bowl with the cabbage.

Finely slice the red onion into thin strips and add it to the bowl with the other vegetables.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, hot sauce, celery seed, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.

Step 5

Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture. Using clean hands or tongs, toss until the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.

Step 6

Taste the coleslaw and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt, pepper, or hot sauce if desired.

Step 7

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
