Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 medium head green cabbage, finely shredded
  • 2 large carrots, grated
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup high-quality mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon celery seed
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Prepare the Vegetables: Finely shred the cabbage using a sharp knife or mandoline slicer. Grate the carrots and thinly slice the red onion. Combine all vegetables in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Make the Dressing: In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, celery seed, black pepper, and salt until smooth and well combined.
  3. Combine and Chill: Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture and toss thoroughly to coat everything evenly. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
  4. Finish and Serve: Before serving, stir in the fresh parsley. Adjust seasoning if needed and serve chilled.

Notes

For best results, chill coleslaw for at least an hour before serving to allow cabbage to soften and absorb dressing. Can be prepared up to a day in advance as flavors improve over time.
