Ingredients

• 4 cups Green cabbage
• 1 large Carrot
• 0.5 cups Mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 1.5 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Finely shred the green cabbage using a sharp knife, mandoline, or food processor until you have approximately 4 cups of shredded cabbage. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Peel and grate the carrot using a box grater or the grating attachment on a food processor. Add the grated carrot to the bowl with the cabbage.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrot mixture. Toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated in the dressing.

Step 5

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or sugar if desired.

Step 6

Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. This step is optional but recommended for best results.

Step 7

Before serving, give the cole slaw a quick toss to redistribute the dressing. Serve chilled as a side dish or a topping for sandwiches and burgers.
