Ingredients
- 3 cups white cabbage, finely sliced or shredded
- 1 1/2 cups red cabbage, shredded
- 1 cup finely grated carrots
- 6 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoon mustard
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon ground celery seeds
Instructions
- Slice and Shred: Start by slicing the white cabbage and red cabbage as thinly as you possibly can. You can use either a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife.
- Combine Veggies: Place the shredded white cabbage, red baggage and grated cabbage in a large salad bowl. Toss to evenly distribute the different veggetables.
- Prepare Salad Dressing: Mix all the ingredients for the coleslaw dressing in a separate medium bowl until it is homogeneous.
- Pour Dressing Over Veggies: Pour the coleslaw dressing over the shredded vegetables in the large bowl. Mix all coleslaw ingredients thoroughly.
- Chill Before Serving: Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Stir again before serving.
Notes
Cabbage: I like using a mix of white cabbage and red cabbage (with more white cabbage than red). However, you may also use green cabbage if you wish. For best results, make sure to slice the cabbage as finely as possible.
Carrots: You can shred the carrots on the medium hole of your box grater (make sure it’s approximately the same fineness as the sliced cabbage).
Mayonnaise: I used regular mayonnaise, but if you want to keep this recipe vegan and egg-free, feel free to use vegan mayonnaise instead. If you don’t like mayonnaise and are not lactose-intolerant, you may substitute it with regular milk cream instead.
Mustard: I used yellow mustard, but feel free to use any type of mustard you have on hand (such as Dijon mustard, honey mustard, etc).
Apple Cider Vinegar: A bit of apple cider vinegar adds a nice tangy flavor. Alternatively, you may use white vinegar or lemon juice too.
Sugar: A little adds sweetness to balance out the tanginess of the apple cider vinegar.
Condiments: I’ve used a mix of salt, ground black pepper, and ground celery seeds to add flavor, but if you don’t like the flavor of ground celery seeds, feel free to leave it out instead.
Storing: To store, place the coleslaw in an airtight container or wrap in plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
