Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

3 cups green cabbage, finely shredded
2 cups purple cabbage, finely shredded
1 cup carrots, grated

Dressing

½ cup mayonnaise
1 tbsp white vinegar
½ tbsp apple cider vinegar
2 tsp sugar
½ tsp celery seed
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste

Instructions

Make the Dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, white vinegar, apple cider vinegar, sugar, celery seed, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Prep the Veggies: Thinly slice the green and purple cabbage into fine shreds and grate the carrots, ensuring all the vegetables are prepared uniformly for the best texture.
Mix It Up: Transfer the shredded cabbage and grated carrots to a large mixing bowl and pour the prepared dressing over the vegetables. Toss thoroughly until all pieces are evenly coated with the dressing.
Chill: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld and the cabbage to soften slightly, enhancing the crunch and taste.

Notes

You can adjust the amount of sugar to your taste for a sweeter or more tangy dressing.
For an extra crunch, consider adding chopped nuts like walnuts or sunflower seeds.
Use fresh, firm cabbage for the best texture and flavor.
This coleslaw is best served chilled but can be kept refrigerated for up to 2 days.
To make it lighter, substitute half of the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt.
