- 3 cups green cabbage finely shredded (see notes below)
- 3 cups purple cabbage finely shredded
- 1 cup carrot finely shredded
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup white vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon celery seeds
- salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Shred cabbages and carrots and place in a large bowl.
- Mix the dressing in a small bowl.
- Toss everything together to coat the cabbage mixture with the dressing, then chill for at least one hour to allow the flavors to blend.
Notes
You can substitute a 16-ounce bag of coleslaw mix or shredded cabbage if you prefer not to shred your own.
Store leftover coleslaw in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The slaw will become softer as it is stored so it is best enjoyed the same day if possible.
