Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups green cabbage, shredded
  • 1 cup red cabbage, shredded
  • 2 medium carrots, grated
  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon celery seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Method
 

  1. Prepare the vegetables first. Shred the green and red cabbage thinly using a sharp knife or mandoline. Then, grate the carrots using a box grater. Place all vegetables in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Create the dressing next. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, and sugar. Continue whisking until the sugar dissolves completely. Then, add Dijon mustard, celery seeds, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until smooth and well combined.
  3. Combine everything together. Pour the creamy dressing over the shredded vegetables. Using two large spoons or clean hands, toss everything until the vegetables are evenly coated.
  4. Let it rest. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
  5. Serve and enjoy! Give the Homemade Coleslaw A Classic Side Dish a final toss before serving.

Notes

For a lighter version, replace half the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt. For variations, consider adding diced apples or fresh herbs. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
