Ingredients
- 4 cups Green cabbage
- 1 large Carrot
- 0.5 cups Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1.5 tablespoons Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Onion powder (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Remove the tough outer leaves of the cabbage and rinse it under cold water. Slice the cabbage into thin shreds using a sharp knife or mandoline. Place the shredded cabbage into a large mixing bowl.
Step 2
Peel the carrot and grate it using a box grater or 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, salt, black pepper, and onion powder (if using) until smooth and well combined.
Step 4
Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrot mixture. Using tongs or clean hands, toss everything together until evenly coated.
Step 5
Taste the coleslaw and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or sugar if needed.
Step 6
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 7
Before serving, give the coleslaw one final toss to redistribute the dressing. Serve chilled as a side dish or sandwich topping.
