Ingredients
- 1 medium head Green cabbage
- 2 large Carrots
- 0.75 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1.5 tablespoons 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 damaged outer leaves from the cabbage. Using a sharp knife or a mandoline, thinly slice the cabbage into fine shreds. Place the shredded cabbage into a large mixing bowl.
Step 2
Peel the carrots and grate them using the large holes of a box grater. Add the grated carrots to the bowl with the cabbage.
Step 3
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, Dijon mustard, celery seed, salt, and black pepper until the dressing is smooth and well combined.
Step 4
Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrots. Toss everything together thoroughly until the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
Step 5
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. For the best results, refrigerate for 2-3 hours.
Step 6
Before serving, gently toss the coleslaw again to redistribute any dressing that may have settled at the bottom of the bowl.
Step 7
Serve chilled as a side dish and enjoy!
