Ingredients
- 1 medium head green cabbage
- 2 large carrots
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon celery seed
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Remove any wilted outer leaves from the cabbage. Cut the cabbage in half, remove the core, and thinly slice the cabbage into shreds using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer.
Step 2
Peel the carrots and grate them using a box grater or the grating attachment on a food processor.
Step 3
Thinly slice half of a red onion into very fine strips.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, grated carrots, and sliced red onion. Toss well to mix evenly.
Step 5
In a separate small bowl, make the dressing by whisking together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, Dijon mustard, celery seed, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Step 6
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture. Toss the coleslaw thoroughly to ensure all the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
Step 7
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together. For best results, refrigerate for 2-4 hours.
Step 8
Before serving, give the coleslaw a quick toss. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed with additional salt or pepper.
Step 9
Serve chilled as a side dish and enjoy!
