Ingredients

• 1 medium head Green cabbage
• 0.5 medium head Red cabbage
• 2 medium Carrots
• 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
• 3 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon Celery seed
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Remove any outer wilted leaves from the green and red cabbages. Cut each head of cabbage in half and remove the core.

Step 2

Using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer, thinly shred the cabbage into fine strips. Set aside in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Peel the carrots and grate them using a box grater or food processor. Add the grated carrots to the bowl with the cabbage.

Step 4

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, celery seed, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.

Step 5

Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrot mixture.

Step 6

Using tongs or two large spoons, toss the slaw until all the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.

Step 7

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 8

Before serving, give the cole slaw another quick toss and adjust seasoning, if necessary, with additional salt or pepper.
