Ingredients
  

Main
  • 1 bag classic coleslaw mix about fourteen ounces
  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon celery seed
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, sugar, celery seed, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
  2. Add the coleslaw mix to the bowl with the dressing.
  3. Toss everything until the cabbage mixture is well coated with the dressing.
  4. Chill the coleslaw in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld. An hour or overnight is even better.
  5. Before serving, give the coleslaw another toss to refresh the mix.

Notes

This coleslaw can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Use full-fat mayonnaise for best texture and flavor. Feel free to customize with diced jalapenos, green onions, or red cabbage as desired.
