Instructions
Coleslaw Preparation
Quarter the cabbage through the core and remove the core. Cut each quarter in half crosswise, then finely shred the cabbage. Place it all in a very large bowl for mixing.
Add the shredded carrots and chopped parsley to the cabbage. Toss everything together gently until well combined.
Whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, celery seeds, salt, and pepper in a separate bowl. Taste the dressing, adjusting the acidity and seasoning as desired.
Pour about two-thirds of the dressing over the cabbage and carrot mixture, mixing well. Add more dressing if needed for a creamy finish.
Let it chill in the refrigerator for about an hour for the flavors to meld and the cabbage to soften beautifully.
Notes
Optional: Garnish with additional parsley before serving. Freshness is key to a great coleslaw.
