Ingredients

• 1 medium head Green cabbage
• 2 large Carrots
• 1 small Red onion
• 0.75 cup 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 green cabbage. Use a sharp knife or a food processor to shred the cabbage into thin strips and place in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Peel the carrots and shred them using a box grater or food processor. Add the shredded carrots to the bowl with the cabbage.

Step 3

Peel the red onion and slice it thinly. Add the slices to the bowl.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Pour the dressing over the cabbage, carrots, and red onion mixture. Toss everything together thoroughly until the vegetables are well coated with the dressing.

Step 6

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together. For best results, refrigerate for 2-3 hours.

Step 7

Before serving, give the coleslaw a quick toss to redistribute the dressing. Serve chilled as a side dish or as a topping for sandwiches or BBQ dishes.
