Servings: 6
Ingredients
- Green cabbage
- 4 cups, shredded
- Carrots
- 2, grated
- Salt
- 1 teaspoon
- Black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon
- Celery seeds
- 1 teaspoon
- Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon
- Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons
- Sugar
- 1 tablespoon
- Sour cream
- 1/2 cup
- Mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded green cabbage and grated carrots, ensuring they are evenly mixed to create a colorful base.
- In a separate, medium-sized bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, sugar, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, celery seeds, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is smooth and well combined. This dressing is the heart of your coleslaw!
- Pour the creamy dressing over the cabbage and carrot mixture, and toss gently to ensure all the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. This resting period allows the flavors to meld beautifully and the cabbage to soften slightly.
- Serve the coleslaw chilled, garnished with a sprinkle of additional celery seeds if desired. This dish pairs wonderfully with grilled meats, sandwiches, or as a tasty side at gatherings.
