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:
- Prep the vegetables. Shred the green and red cabbage into thin ribbons and grate the carrots.
- Combine the greens. Place the green cabbage, red cabbage, carrots, and green onions in your largest mixing bowl.
- 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.
- Add the seasonings. Whisk in the celery seed, black pepper, salt, and dry mustard powder until the mixture is completely smooth and velvety.
- Pour and coat. Drizzle the dressing over the cabbage mixture.
- Toss thoroughly. Use tongs or two large spoons to fold the dressing into the vegetables until every shred is glossy and coated.
- Rest the slaw. Cover the bowl and let it sit in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Wait until the cabbage slightly softens.
- Final stir. Give it one more toss before serving to redistribute the dressing that may have settled at the bottom.
