Ingredients

• 1 head (small, about 1.5 lbs) Green cabbage
• 0.5 head (medium, about 0.75 lbs) Red cabbage
• 3 medium Carrots
• 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Celery seeds
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, chopped)

Directions

Step 1

1. Begin by preparing the vegetables. Remove any outer leaves from the green and red cabbages, and slice them in half. Cut out the core, then thinly slice the cabbage into long shreds using a sharp knife or a mandoline. Place the shredded cabbage in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

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

Step 3

3. In a small mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, black pepper, and celery seeds. Whisk the dressing until smooth and fully emulsified.

Step 4

4. Pour the dressing over the shredded cabbage and carrots. Using tongs or clean hands, toss the mixture until the vegetables are evenly coated in the dressing.

Step 5

5. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding a pinch more salt or a splash of vinegar for extra tanginess.

Step 6

6. If desired, fold in the chopped fresh parsley for added color and flavor.

Step 7

7. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve chilled as a side dish or as a topping for sandwiches, tacos, or burgers.
