Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 3 cups green cabbage, finely shredded
  • 2 cups purple cabbage, finely shredded
  • 1 cup carrots, grated

Dressing

  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp white vinegar
  • ½ tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tsp sugar
  • ½ tsp celery seed
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Make the Dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, white vinegar, apple cider vinegar, sugar, celery seed, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  2. Prep the Veggies: Thinly slice the green and purple cabbages into fine shreds and grate the carrots using a box grater or food processor, ensuring even, small pieces for a consistent texture.
  3. Mix It Up: Place the shredded cabbages and grated carrots into a large mixing bowl. Pour the prepared dressing over the vegetables and toss thoroughly until every piece is evenly coated with the dressing.
  4. Chill: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the coleslaw for at least 1 hour. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld and the coleslaw to develop its signature crunch and tangy taste before serving.

Notes

  • For extra crunch, consider adding thinly sliced red onion or a handful of chopped fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro.
  • You can substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt for a lighter dressing.
  • Adjust the sugar quantity based on your preference for sweetness.
  • Celery seed adds a subtle earthy flavor but can be omitted if unavailable.
  • Serve chilled as a perfect side for barbecues, sandwiches, or grilled meats.
