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
- Combine the shredded cabbage, carrots, and 1 tablespoon of kosher salt in a mesh colander placed over a large bowl. Allow it to sit for 1 hour.
- Afterward, discard the water that has collected. Rinse the cabbage and carrots, then dry them thoroughly using a salad spinner or by patting between paper towels on a baking sheet. Return the dried mixture to the bowl.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the apple cider vinegar and granulated sugar until the sugar has dissolved. Whisk in the mayonnaise, celery seed, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
- Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrots according to your taste preferences; you may not need all the dressing depending on the moisture level of the cabbage. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
- Cover the coleslaw and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Stir before serving. The coleslaw can be stored covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Notes
For added flavor, let the coleslaw chill overnight before serving.
Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of sugar in the dressing.
Use fresh ingredients for the best taste.
