Ingredients

  • 4 cups red cabbage
  • 4 cups green cabbage
  • 1 large carrot
  • 0.5 cups mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon celery seed
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Remove the outer leaves from the red and green cabbages. Cut both cabbages into quarters and remove the cores.

Step 2

Using a sharp knife, shred the red and green cabbages into thin strips. Alternatively, use a mandoline or food processor for evenly sized shreds.

Step 3

Peel the carrot and grate it using a box grater or food processor.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded red cabbage, green cabbage, and grated carrot. Toss them together to evenly distribute the vegetables.

Step 5

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, celery seed, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.

Step 6

Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrot mixture. Use tongs or a spatula to toss everything together until the vegetables are well-coated with the dressing.

Step 7

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the cabbage to soften slightly.

Step 8

Before serving, give the coleslaw a final toss to redistribute the dressing. Serve cold as a side dish or topping for sandwiches and burgers. Enjoy!
