Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 head Green cabbage
  • 1/2 head Red cabbage
  • 3 carrots, shredded
  • 1 1/2 cups mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon celery seed
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper

Instructions

  1.  Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the green cabbage head in half.  Then remove the core and any of the remaining thicker pieces.  Repeat for the red cabbage half.  Shred the cabbage using a food processor with a shred attachment, using the slicing side of a box grater, or by hand using a sharp knife.  After the cabbage is shredded, chop it into approximately 3/4 – 1 inch pieces.  Set aside in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Shred three medium sized carrots using a box grater or food processor.  Place the shredded carrots into the mixing bowl with the cabbage.  Mix the carrots into the chopped cabbage.
  3. In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, celery seed, salt and pepper.  Stir to combine the ingredients, continue mixing until smooth and creamy.
  4. Add the dressing into the cabbage and carrot mixture.  Mix to combine and evenly coat the cabbage with the dressing.
  5. Chill for at least one-hour before serving.
