Servings: 6
Ingredients
- Cabbage
- 4 cups, shredded
- Carrot
- 1 large, shredded
- Red onion
- 1/2 medium, thinly sliced
- White vinegar
- 3/4 cup
- Sugar
- 1/4 cup
- Celery seed
- 1 teaspoon
- Salt
- 1 teaspoon
- Black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, shredded carrot, and thinly sliced red onion, mixing well.
- In a small saucepan, combine the white vinegar, sugar, celery seed, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar is fully dissolved.
- Once the vinegar mixture has boiled, carefully pour it over the cabbage mixture. Toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
