Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp Dijon Mustard Adjust it to your spice level Add a tablespoon of Dijon mustard, adjusting the amount to your preferred level of spiciness, to bring a tangy and zesty flavor to the coleslaw.
  • 1/2 tbsp Hot Sauce Add half a tablespoon of hot sauce adjusting the amount to your desired level of spiciness, to bring a fiery kick and a bold flavor to the coleslaw.
  • Salt to taste Add salt as needed to enhance the flavors and balance the taste of the coleslaw ensuring it is seasoned to your preference.
  • 1/2 Green Cabbage Utilize half of a green cabbage thinly sliced or shredded, providing a crisp and refreshing texture to the coleslaw.
  • 1/2 Carrot Include half of a carrot grated or finely chopped, adding a vibrant color and a subtle sweetness to the coleslaw.
  • 2 1/2 tbsp Mayonnaise Include two and a half tablespoons of mayonnaise creating a creamy and smooth dressing that coats the coleslaw ingredients.
  • 1 1/2 tsp Celery Seeds Incorporate one and a half teaspoons of celery seeds providing a delightful crunch and a distinct, herbal flavor to the dish.
  • 2 1/2 tbsp Brown Sugar Incorporate two and a half tablespoons of brown sugar contributing a rich and caramel-like sweetness to complement the savory elements of the coleslaw.
  • 1/3 cup Sugar Incorporate one-third of a cup of sugar adding a touch of sweetness to balance the flavors and enhance the overall taste of the coleslaw.

Instructions

  • Start by shredding the cabbage and carrot. You can do this easily using a food processor or hand grater.
  • In a large bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, hot sauce, celery seeds, salt and sugar. Mix well until everything is evenly combined.
  • Add the shredded cabbage and carrot to the mayonnaise mixture and stir until everything is evenly coated.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least two hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to combine and meld together.

Notes

• For a healthier version, you can use light mayonnaise or Greek yogurt instead of regular mayonnaise.
• You can also add your favorite vegetables such as bell peppers, onions, celery or radishes to the coleslaw mix if desired.
• Toasting the celery seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat brings out their flavor even more.
