Ingredients

• 6 cups Green cabbage
• 2 medium Carrots
• 2 cups Red cabbage
• 0.75 cups Mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Celery seeds
• 2 stalks Green onion (optional, sliced)

Directions

Step 1

Remove the outermost leaves of the green and red cabbages. Using a sharp knife, a mandoline, or a food processor, finely shred both cabbages to achieve about 6 cups of green cabbage and 2 cups of red cabbage. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, and celery seeds until smooth and well-combined.

Step 4

Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrot mixture. Use tongs or a large spoon to toss everything thoroughly, ensuring that the dressing coats the vegetables evenly.

Step 5

If using green onions, slice them thinly and fold them into the coleslaw mixture for added flavor.

Step 6

Cover the coleslaw and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. For best results, refrigerate for 2–3 hours.

Step 7

Stir the coleslaw before serving and transfer to a serving dish. Serve chilled as a side dish for your favorite barbecue or deli meal.
