This classic coleslaw recipe features crisp cabbage, sweet carrots, and a tangy, creamy dressing. It's the perfect side dish for barbecues, tacos, or a fresh accompaniment to any meal!
Shred the green cabbage, red cabbage (if using), and carrots using a sharp knife, box grater, or food processor.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, carrots, and red onion (if using). Toss them together gently to mix evenly.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, celery seed (if using), salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss until everything is evenly coated.
For the best flavor, cover and refrigerate the coleslaw for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Give the coleslaw a final toss before serving and enjoy it chilled as a side dish or topping for sandwiches and tacos.
