Homemade Coleslaw
Ingredients
- 1 medium cabbage outer leaves removed, shredded
- 3 medium carrots peeled and shredded
- 1/2 cup loosely packed fresh parsley leaves coarsely chopped
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar or more to taste
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard or coarse ground mustard
- 1 teaspoon celery seeds
- Sea salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
- optional – toasted sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds to taste
Instructions
- Quarter the cabbage through the core, and then cut out the core. Cut each quarter crosswise in half and finely shred
- Place the shredded cabbage in a very large bowl (you will have a 6 to 8 cups)
- Add the shredded carrot and parsley to the cabbage and toss to mix
- In a separate bowl, stir the mayonnaise, vinegar, mustard, celery seeds, salt, and pepper together. Taste for acidity and seasoning then adjust as desired
- Pour two-thirds of the dressing over the cabbage and carrot then mix well. (Clean hands are the quickest tool). *If the coleslaw seems dry, add a little more of the dressing
- Eat right away or let it sit in the refrigerator for about an hour to let the flavors mingle and the cabbage to soften
