1medium head green cabbagefinely shredded (about 8 cups)
1medium carrotgrated
½medium red onionthinly sliced
½cupapple cider vinegar
2tablespoonsgranulated sugar
1tablespoonDijon mustard
1teaspooncelery seeds
½teaspoonsalt
¼teaspoonblack pepper
¼cupvegetable oil
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, grated carrot, and sliced red onion. Toss to combine.
In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, sugar, Dijon mustard, celery seeds, salt, and black pepper until the sugar dissolves.
Slowly drizzle the vegetable oil into the vinegar mixture while whisking continuously until the dressing is combined.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss until evenly coated.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours, to allow the flavors to blend.
Toss the coleslaw again before serving.
Notes
Slice the red onion nice and thin so its flavor can weave through the coleslaw without taking over. If you prefer a milder onion flavor, you can soak the sliced onions in cold water for 10-15 minutes before adding them to the coleslaw.
