Method

Preparation of Vegetables

  1. 1

    Slice the Cabbage

    Remove the outer leaves of the green and red cabbage, then cut them into quarters. Remove the core and slice the cabbage thinly until you have about 4 cups of green cabbage and 2 cups of red cabbage.

  2. 2

    Grate the Carrots

    Peel the carrots and then use a box grater or a food processor to grate them until you have about 2 cups.

  3. 3

    Chop the Bell Pepper

    Remove the seeds and stem from the green bell pepper, then chop it finely to yield about 1 cup.

Mixing the Dressing

  1. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper.

  2. 5

    Whisk Together

    Using a whisk, mix the dressing ingredients together until smooth and well combined.

Combining the Coleslaw

  1. 6

    Add Vegetables to Dressing

    Add the sliced green cabbage, grated carrots, sliced red cabbage, and chopped green bell pepper to the bowl with the dressing.

  2. 7

    Toss to Combine

    Using tongs or two large spoons, gently toss the vegetables in the dressing until everything is evenly coated.

Chill and Serve

  1. 8

    Refrigerate

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the coleslaw for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld.

  2. 9

    Serve

    Stir the coleslaw again before serving. Enjoy your fresh coleslaw as a side dish or topping for sandwiches!
