Ingredients
  

4 cups green cabbage, finely shredded

1 cup red cabbage, finely shredded

2 large carrots, grated

1/2 cup mayonnaise

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon honey (or sugar)

1/2 teaspoon celery seed

Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded green cabbage, red cabbage, and grated carrots. Toss them together to ensure an even mix of colors and textures.

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, celery seed, salt, and black pepper until the dressing is smooth and well combined.

      Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrot mixture. Toss gently but thoroughly to coat the veggies evenly with the dressing.

        Taste the coleslaw and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or vinegar according to your preference.

          Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. This resting time allows the flavors to meld and the cabbage to soften slightly.

            Give it a final toss before serving and enjoy this fresh and crunchy classic side dish!
