Ingredients

Servings
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt or ¼ teaspoon of any other salt, Diamond Crystal brand
  • teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
  • ½ teaspoon celery seed ground
  • 6 cups coleslaw mix (a 12-ounce bag)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, vinegar, maple syrup, kosher salt, black pepper, and celery seeds.
  2. Mix these ingredients into a smooth dressing using a hand whisk or a rubber spatula.
  3. Add the coleslaw mix and toss to combine.
  4. Cover and refrigerate for one hour to allow the flavors to meld. Toss again before serving.

Notes

  • My version uses just a teaspoon of maple syrup to counteract the vinegar and celery seeds used in the dressing. Unlike many other recipes, it's not too sweet - it's balanced and flavorful. However, if you prefer your coleslaw on the sweet side, double or even triple the maple syrup. 
  • Homemade coleslaw improves significantly after resting in the fridge for a few hours. Although you can serve it immediately, I highly recommend making it one or two hours beforehand.
  • You can keep the leftovers in the fridge, in an airtight container, for up to four days. Give the salad another stir before serving it.
