Instructions

  1. Chop cabbage, carrots, and onions and place into a large bowl.
  2. In a small bowl combine mayonnaise, distilled vinegar, sugar, salt, and celery seed. Whisk dressing together and drizzle over the chopped vegetables.
  3. Stir to combine dressing and vegetables until the cabbage is well coated. This recipe is best when allowed to rest in a covered dish in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.

Notes

  • For the most authentic Captain D's flavor, don't skip the celery seed—it's the secret ingredient that gives this coleslaw its distinctive taste. When chopping the cabbage, aim for pieces that are small but not minced. If you're in a hurry, you can use pre-shredded coleslaw mix, but the texture won't be quite the same as the restaurant version.
