Instructions

Preparation

Start by washing and shredding the green and red cabbage. Use a sharp knife or a mandoline for even slices.
Use a box grater or food processor to grate the carrots until they are delicately fine.

Making the Dressing

In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey, mustard, celery seeds, salt, and pepper until creamy and well incorporated.

Combining the Coleslaw

Add the shredded cabbage and carrots to the dressing and gently mix until all veggies are coated.

Chill

Let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes for the best flavor.

Notes

For a spicy kick, add a teaspoon of sriracha or a dash of cayenne pepper to the dressing. This coleslaw makes wonderful leftovers! Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. To maintain freshness, mix the dressing with veggies just before serving.
