SERIOUSLY GOOD HOMEMADE COLESLAW
With a generous amount of acidity from apple cider vinegar and Dijon mustard, our coleslaw recipe is anything but dull. Instead, it is packed with fresh, lively flavors that wake up anything you serve with it. Unlike some of the more traditional or popular recipes for coleslaw, we skip the addition of sugar to our coleslaw dressing. Try this as a topping to sandwiches, served next to ultra-savory meats, like braised beef or pork. Or, mound some on top of your next hot dog or hamburger. Sugar: We find that the cabbage and carrots are sweet enough. If you disagree, add a teaspoon or two of sugar (or honey) to the dressing before mixing with the cabbage and carrot.

Steps:
- 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 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. If the dressing tastes too tart and you prefer a sweeter coleslaw, stir in the optional sugar.
- 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.

Tips:

- Shred the carrots by hand or with a food processor. Grating the carrots will make them too mushy.
- Chop the onion finely. This will help to distribute the onion flavor throughout the coleslaw.
- Use a combination of mayonnaise and sour cream for the dressing. This will give the coleslaw a creamy and tangy flavor.
- Add some vinegar or lemon juice to the dressing. This will help to brighten the flavor of the coleslaw.
- Season the dressing with salt and pepper to taste.
- Toss the coleslaw with the dressing until it is evenly coated.
- Chill the coleslaw for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help the flavors to meld together.
- Garnish the coleslaw with chopped parsley or chives before serving.
