Ingredients
- 5 cups green cabbage shredded
- 2 cups red cabbage shredded
- 1 cup carrot shredded
- ¾ cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice fresh
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar or ACV
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper ground
- ½ teaspoon celery seed
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
- Shred the green and red cabbage. I find the best way to do this is to use a mandolin slicer on a fine setting. (Use the safety guard to protect your fingers!) You can also do it carefully with a large chef’s knife. Then shred the carrots using a box grater.
- Set out a large mixing bowl. Add both kinds of shredded cabbage and the carrots. Toss well.
- In a separate bowl or measuring pitcher, combine the mayonnaise, lemon juice, rice vinegar, sugar, salt, black pepper, celery seeds, and onion powder. Mix until smooth.
- Pour the dressing over the coleslaw mix. Toss well to fully coat. Then cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Notes
- Picking cabbages – It doesn’t take a big cabbage to create 5-7 cups of shredded cabbage. Buy small ones, 1-2 pounds or less.
- Less color? I have learned people are quite particular about the color of their coleslaw. I like lots of color, but if this blend is too colorful for you, use 7 cups green cabbage, ½ cup red cabbage, and ½ cup carrots.
- Pre-shredded coleslaw mix? Don’t want to mess with shredded cabbage? Use two 14 ounce bags of cabbage and carrot coleslaw mix.
- Homemade coleslaw is great to make ahead up to 36 hours before serving.
- As-is this recipe yields approximately 8 servings. Easily double the ingredients for a larger batch to feed a party.
