Ingredients

  • 6 cups shredded green cabbage

  • 1 ½ cups shredded carrot

  • 1 cup shredded red cabbage

  • ½ cup shredded onion

  • ¼ cup kosher salt

  • 1 cup cider vinegar

  • 1 cup white sugar

  • 1 tablespoon celery seed

  • 1 tablespoon dry mustard

  • ¼ cup vegetable oil

  • ground black pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Toss green cabbage, carrot, red cabbage, and onion in a colander and sprinkle with kosher salt. Set aside to drip for 30 minutes.

  2. Heat cider vinegar, sugar, celery seed, and dry mustard together in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring until sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool.

  3. Squeeze as much juice as possible from cabbage mixture and transfer vegetables to a serving bowl. Pour vinegar mixture to taste over vegetables and drizzle vegetable oil over the top. Sprinkle with black pepper and stir coleslaw to coat with dressing. Refrigerate 2 hours before serving for flavors to blend.

Cook's Note:

Use your food processor for the shredding. It cuts down the time quite a bit as well as makes a nice texture of a longer shred versus tiny grated bits of cabbage. You can use less sugar, about 3/4 cup if desired.
