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 the shredded cabbage with carrots and 1 tablespoon of kosher salt. Let it sit in a mesh colander for 1 hour.
- After 1 hour, discard the collected water, rinse the cabbage and carrots, and dry them thoroughly using a salad spinner, or between paper towels. Return the dried mixture to the large bowl.
- In a separate bowl, combine apple cider vinegar and granulated sugar, mixing until dissolved. Whisk in the mayonnaise, celery seed, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon freshly-ground black pepper.
- Pour the desired amount of dressing over the cabbage and carrot mixture, adjusting the quantity based on personal preference and remaining moisture.
- Season the coleslaw with additional salt and pepper to taste. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving. Stir the coleslaw again just before serving.
Notes
For a creamy texture, adjust the amount of mayonnaise to personal preference.
