Vinegar Coleslaw Recipe (No Mayo Coleslaw)
Description
This no-mayo Vinegar Coleslaw combines shredded cabbage, grated carrot, and thinly sliced onion in a bowl. The dressing, whisked separately, blends apple cider vinegar with Dijon mustard, olive oil, honey, celery seed, salt, and pepper, creating a zesty, slightly sweet vinaigrette. Adding about half the dressing first and gradually mixing more allows control over coating and flavor intensity.
The salad maintains a crisp texture from the raw vegetables, balanced by the sharp yet mellow dressing. Celery seed adds subtle aromatic notes. The lack of mayonnaise keeps the coleslaw lighter and less creamy than traditional versions.
It pairs well with grilled meats or sandwiches and provides a cooling counterpoint to spicy foods. The recipe makes approximately 12 cups and can be stored in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 days, making it suitable for batch preparation ahead of time.

Instructions
