Ingredients
- 4 cups (shredded) green cabbage
- 1 cup (shredded) carrot
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon celery seed
Directions
Step 1
Start by preparing your vegetables. Using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer, finely shred the green cabbage. You will need about 4 cups of shredded cabbage.
Step 2
Peel and shred the carrot. Measure out 1 cup of shredded carrot.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage and carrot. Toss them together until they are well mixed.
Step 4
In a separate medium-sized bowl, prepare the dressing. Combine the mayonnaise, white vinegar, sugar, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, and celery seed. Stir until the dressing is smooth and the ingredients are well incorporated.
Step 5
Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrot mixture. Toss everything together with a large spoon or tongs to ensure that the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
Step 6
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the koolsla for at least 2 hours. This allows the flavors to meld together and the cabbage to slightly soften.
Step 7
Once chilled, give the coleslaw a final stir before serving to redistribute the dressing.
Step 8
Serve cold as a side dish or as a topping for sandwiches or burgers. Enjoy your traditional koolsla!
