Ingredients

  • 12-16 ounces 5 cups of shredded coleslaw mix
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 4 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon celery seed not celery salt
  • ¼ teaspoon coarse Kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Add the coleslaw mix and carrots to a large bowl.
  • Combine the mayo, vinegar, sugar, celery seed, salt, and pepper into a small mixing bowl. Whisk to combine.
  • Pour the coleslaw dressing over the shredded vegetables and mix well until completely coated. The mixture won’t look creamy at this point, and that’s ok!
  • Cover and chill in the fridge for two hours or overnight before serving. This will soften the vegetables and make the dressing creamier.
  • Stir before serving and enjoy!
