Ingredients
- 4 cups green cabbage, shredded
- 2 cups red cabbage, shredded
- 1 cup carrots, grated or julienned
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely sliced (optional)
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey (or granulated sugar)
- 1/2 teaspoon celery seed (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Shred the green cabbage, red cabbage, and carrots using a sharp knife, box grater, or food processor.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded green cabbage, red cabbage, carrots, and red onion if using. Toss gently to mix.
- In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, celery seed, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
- Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture and toss well to coat every strand evenly.
- Cover and refrigerate the coleslaw for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld and the cabbage soften slightly while remaining crunchy.
