Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • ¾ cup mayonnaise, slightly scant
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • ¾ teaspoon celery seeds
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 6 cups shredded green cabbage
  • 2 cups shredded red cabbage
  • 2 medium carrots, julienned or shredded on the large holes of a box grater
  • 1 cup thinly sliced red onion

Method
 

  1. Make the coleslaw dressing. In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, mustard, sugar, celery seeds, salt, and several grinds of pepper.
  2. Make the coleslaw. In a large bowl, toss together the green and red cabbage, carrots, and onion. Pour the dressing over the top and toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  3. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the cabbage to soften and the flavors to meld.

Notes

The use of apple cider vinegar in the dressing not only adds a bright acidity that balances the richness of the mayonnaise but also helps to tenderize the cabbage, enhancing its crunch and flavor. This technique ensures that your coleslaw remains fresh and vibrant, even after chilling.
