Mandoline A great option if you don't feel like slicing by hand.
- ¾ green cabbage finely shredded
- ¼ red cabbage finely shredded
- 3 medium carrots grated
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey (or more for desired sweetness)
- 1 teaspoon celery seeds
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Prep the coleslaw. Add the shredded green cabbage, red cabbage, and carrots to a large bowl.
Make the dressing. Combine the mayonnaise, honey, apple cider vinegar, salt, pepper, and celery seeds in a small bowl and whisk together. (If you want the dressing to be sweeter, add more honey.)
Stir it all together. Pour about half of the dressing onto the cabbage and carrots and toss. Slowly add more dressing until you’ve reached your desired slaw-to-dressing ratio.
- This recipe makes approximately 12 cups of coleslaw (based on the size of the cabbage you see in my video). If your cabbage is larger or smaller, this may vary.
- Other ingredients to add to this coleslaw: Chopped spring onions, sliced apples, or even dried raisins will be a delicious touch to this recipe!
- To store for the week: Once the veggies are mixed with the dressing, it will last about 4 to 5 days in the fridge in a sealed container.
