Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound green cabbage, shredded (about 6 cups)
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- ½ teaspoon celery seed
- kosher salt and freshly-ground black pepper
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage and shredded carrots. Add 1 tablespoon of kosher salt and toss well. Allow to sit for 1 hour in a mesh colander set over another bowl to drain excess water.
- After 1 hour, discard the water collection, rinse and dry the cabbage and carrots thoroughly using a salad spinner or paper towels. Place the dried mixture back into the large bowl.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar and granulated sugar until the sugar dissolves. Add in the mayonnaise, celery seed, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon freshly-ground black pepper, mixing thoroughly.
- Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrots to taste, mixing to combine. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as necessary.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. Stir the coleslaw before serving. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Notes
Ensure the cabbage and carrots are dried properly for a better texture.
Adjust the dressing according to your taste preference.
