Number Of Ingredients 10

2 pounds green cabbage
4 carrots
1 medium yellow onion
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup mustard
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the cabbage, carrots, and onions. This will help the coleslaw to have a crisp texture.
  • If you don't have a mandoline, you can use a food processor to shred the cabbage and carrots. Just be careful not to over-process them, or they will become mushy.
  • For a creamier coleslaw, use mayonnaise instead of vinegar in the dressing.
  • To make a healthier coleslaw, use Greek yogurt or low-fat mayonnaise in the dressing.
  • Add some chopped celery or bell pepper to the coleslaw for a little extra crunch.
  • Serve the coleslaw immediately, or chill it for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
