Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon celery seed optional
  • 1 pound green cabbage finely shredded (about 6 cups)
  • 2 medium carrots grated (about 1 cup)
  • 1/4 small red onion thinly sliced (optional)

Method
 

  1. Whisk the mayonnaise, vinegar, Dijon, honey, salt, pepper, and celery seed in a large bowl until smooth.
  2. Add the cabbage, carrots, and red onion. Toss until evenly coated.
  3. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes so the cabbage softens slightly and the flavors blend. Toss again and adjust salt or vinegar before serving.
