- 1 cup Mayonnaise Can swap for half mayo and half Greek yogurt for a lighter option.
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar Add more for extra tang.
- 2-3 tablespoons Sugar Adjust based on desired sweetness.

- 1 teaspoon Celery seed Optional, gives classic deli flavor.
- 1 teaspoon Salt Adjust after chilling to prevent excess moisture.
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large bowl, toss together the thinly sliced cabbage and shredded carrots.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, dijon mustard, celery seed, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
- Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrot mixture, and toss until everything is well coated.
- Chill the coleslaw in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to blend and to achieve the best texture.
Notes
For best flavor, let the coleslaw chill before serving. It can be prepped the day before for melted flavors, but for maximum crunch, mix the day of serving.
