Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables:
- 3 cups (710 ml) green cabbage, finely shredded
- 2 cups (475 ml) purple cabbage, finely shredded
- 1 cup (240 ml) carrot, finely shredded
Dressing:
- ½ cup (120 ml) mayonnaise/dressing
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) white vinegar
- ½ tablespoon (7.5 ml) cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoons (10 ml) sugar
Seasonings:
- ½ teaspoon (2.5 ml) celery seeds
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare green and red cabbage by meticulously shredding into delicate, uniform strands using a food processor, mandoline slicer, or precision knife. Employ a box grater to transform carrots into fine, wispy ribbons, ensuring each vegetable is cut with consistency for optimal texture and visual appeal.
- Craft a velvety dressing in a spacious mixing vessel by whisking together rich mayonnaise, tangy white vinegar (30 milliliters or 1 fluid ounce), zesty apple cider vinegar (30 milliliters or 1 fluid ounce), granulated sugar, and aromatic celery seeds until the mixture achieves a smooth, creamy consistency.
- Gently fold the meticulously shredded vegetables into the prepared dressing, ensuring every strand is thoroughly and evenly coated. Thoroughly integrate the ingredients, creating a harmonious blend of flavors and textures. Transfer the coleslaw to a sealed container and refrigerate for a minimum of 60 minutes, allowing the ingredients to marinate and develop a more complex, integrated flavor profile.
Notes
- Unlock a secret flavor boost with celery seed, transforming your coleslaw from ordinary to extraordinary.
- Maximize mixing efficiency by choosing a spacious bowl that allows ingredients to blend seamlessly without creating extra dirty dishes.
- Patience pays off when you let your coleslaw chill, allowing flavors to deepen and cabbage to soften into a more tender texture.
- Maintain food safety and freshness during outdoor gatherings by nesting your coleslaw bowl in a larger ice-filled container, keeping everything cool and delicious.
