1 Ingredients
| Qty | Item |
|---|---|
| 4 cups | Green Cabbage, shredded |
| 2 cups | Red Cabbage, shredded |
| 1 cup | Carrots, shredded |
| 0.5 cup | Mayonnaise |
| 2 tbsp | Apple Cider Vinegar |
| 1 tbsp | Granulated Sugar |
| 1 tsp | Dijon Mustard |
| 0.5 tsp | Celery Seed |
| 0.5 tsp | Kosher Salt |
| 0.25 tsp | Black Pepper |
2 Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded green cabbage, red cabbage, and carrots. Toss well to distribute the colors evenly.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, Dijon mustard, celery seed, salt, and black pepper until the dressing is completely smooth and the sugar has dissolved.
Pour the creamy dressing over the cabbage mixture.
Use large spoons or tongs to toss the vegetables until every piece is thoroughly and evenly coated in the dressing.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 to 60 minutes before serving. This chilling time is crucial for the flavors to meld and the vegetables to soften slightly while remaining crisp.
Give the coleslaw a final stir before serving to redistribute the dressing that may have settled at the bottom.
💡 Tips & Tricks
-
·
To prevent a watery coleslaw, you can salt the shredded cabbage for 30 minutes, rinse, and pat dry before adding the dressing.
-
·
For the best texture, shred your own cabbage rather than using pre-bagged mixes, which can sometimes be dry.
-
·
Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce if you prefer a 'zesty' version of this classic.
-
·
If you prefer a more vinegar-forward slaw, reduce the sugar by half.
