A classic, restaurant-quality coleslaw that serves as the perfect side dish for any summer gathering. Featuring a refreshing blend of finely shredded green cabbage and crisp, freshly grated carrots, this slaw is tossed in a tangy, creamy dressing that balances rich mayonnaise with bright apple cider vinegar. It is simple to whip up, holds its texture beautifully at outdoor events, and offers a crisp, satisfying crunch that pairs wonderfully with grilled main courses.

Ingredients

Scale

1 medium head green cabbage
2 large carrots
1 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon celery seed
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Slice the cabbage into quarters and remove the hard inner core.
Shred the cabbage leaves into thin ribbons.
Grate the carrots into long strands.
Whisk the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, and celery seeds together in a large bowl.
Season the dressing with salt and pepper to taste.
Toss the shredded cabbage and carrots with the dressing until evenly coated.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.

Notes

For best texture, serve the slaw chilled. If preparing in advance, keep the dressing separate and toss just before serving to maintain maximum crunch.
