• 1 cup Mayonnaise
• 3 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Celery seed
• 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Remove the outer leaves from the cabbage. Cut it into quarters, remove the core, and finely chop the cabbage into small, bite-sized pieces using a sharp knife.

Step 2

Peel and grate the carrots using a box grater or food processor, or finely chop them with a knife for even texture.

Step 3

Deseed and finely dice the green bell pepper.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped cabbage, grated carrots, and diced green bell pepper.

Step 5

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, granulated sugar, celery seed, kosher salt, and black pepper until fully combined and smooth.

Step 6

Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture. Using a sturdy spoon or spatula, toss the coleslaw until all ingredients are evenly coated.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt or pepper to taste.

Step 8

Chill the coleslaw in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 9

Serve cold as a standalone side dish or as a topping for barbecue sandwiches or pulled pork.
