Servings
Ingredients
Dressing
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Dijon or whole-grain mustard
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- ½ heaping teaspoon Kosher salt or an even 1/2 teaspoon of table salt
- 1 tablespoons grated onion
- 2-2 ½ teaspoons celery seed NOT celery salt
Coleslaw
- 1 16- ounce bag shredded cabbage with carrots
- ½ minced green bell pepper
- 1 carrot peeled and grated
Instructions
Dressing
- In a small mixing bowl combine mayo, mustard, vinegar, sugar, salt, onion, and celery seed.
Coleslaw
- In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded cabbage, carrots, and green pepper. Toss with dressing and for best results refrigerate for 2-3 hours before using.
Notes
- Store leftover coleslaw in an airtight container in the refrigerator and enjoy within 3-5 days for best results.
- Cabbage holds up to dressing quite well, but you may want to eat leftovers on the earlier end if you like it more crispy.
- Use thick shredded cabbage for coleslaw that will hold up. Angel hair shredded cabbage will wilt pretty quickly so only use this if you plan to eat it immediately.
