Method

Preparation of Vegetables

  1. 1

    Shred the Cabbage

    Remove the outer leaves of the green and red cabbage. Cut the cabbages into quarters and remove the core. Use a sharp knife or a mandoline to shred the cabbage into thin strips. Place the shredded cabbage in a large mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    Grate the Carrots

    Peel the carrots and use a box grater or food processor to grate them into fine pieces. Add the grated carrots to the bowl with the shredded cabbage.

Making the Dressing

  1. 3

    Mix the Dressing Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, combine the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Whisk the ingredients together until smooth and well blended.

Combining Ingredients

  1. 4

    Combine Vegetables and Dressing

    Pour the dressing over the shredded cabbage and carrots in the mixing bowl. Toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.

  2. 5

    Add Optional Ingredients

    If desired, add celery seeds, chopped green onions, or dried cranberries to the slaw. Toss again to combine.

Chill and Serve

  1. 6

    Chill the Slaw

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

    Serve

    After chilling, give the slaw a gentle toss and serve it as a side dish. Enjoy!
