How to Make Calico Coleslaw

  1. In a large bowl, combine 1/2 medium head of shredded green cabbage, 1/2 cup shredded red cabbage, 1/2 cup shredded carrots, 1/4 cup chopped red bell pepper, and 1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper.
  2. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon celery seed, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper until the sugar is fully dissolved.
  3. Pour the dressing over the vegetables and gently toss to coat evenly.
  4. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving. This allows the vegetables to absorb the delicious dressing, enhancing the overall taste and texture.
