Ingredients:

  • 14 oz shredded green cabbage
  • 2 oz shredded red cabbage
  • 2 oz grated carrots
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions
  • 1/2 cup high-quality mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp celery seed
  • 1/2 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp dry mustard powder

Instructions:

  1. Prep the vegetables. Shred the green and red cabbage into thin ribbons and grate the carrots.
  2. Combine the greens. Place the green cabbage, red cabbage, carrots, and green onions in your largest mixing bowl.
  3. Whisk the dressing. In a separate small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, vinegar, and sugar. Note: Mixing the dressing separately ensures you don't get clumps of sugar or mustard powder in one spot.
  4. Add the seasonings. Whisk in the celery seed, black pepper, salt, and dry mustard powder until the mixture is completely smooth and velvety.
  5. Pour and coat. Drizzle the dressing over the cabbage mixture.
  6. Toss thoroughly. Use tongs or two large spoons to fold the dressing into the vegetables until every shred is glossy and coated.
  7. Rest the slaw. Cover the bowl and let it sit in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Wait until the cabbage slightly softens.
  8. Final stir. Give it one more toss before serving to redistribute the dressing that may have settled at the bottom.
