Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Begin by removing the outer leaves of the green cabbage. Cut the cabbage into quarters and remove the core. Shred the cabbage using a sharp knife or a mandoline. You should have about 4 cups of shredded cabbage. Next, peel the carrots and grate them using a grater or a food processor until you have about 2 cups of grated carrots.

    Make the Dressing

    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. Whisk the ingredients together until the dressing is smooth and well combined.

    Combine the Ingredients

    Add the shredded cabbage and grated carrots to the bowl with the dressing. Using a spatula or large spoon, gently fold the vegetables into the dressing until everything is evenly coated.

Serving

  1. 4

    Chill and Serve

    Cover the coleslaw with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Before serving, give the coleslaw a good stir. Serve chilled as a side dish.
