For the Base

For the Dressing

  • 1 cup Mayonnaise (225g), creating the creamy base
  • 2 tablespoons Apple Cider Vinegar for a tangy punch

  • 1 teaspoon Celery Seeds providing a hint of earthy goodness

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.
