How to Make Creamy Southern Slaw

  1. Finely grate or chop 1 medium head of green cabbage (about 6 cups shredded).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, celery seed, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Add the shredded cabbage to the dressing and gently toss to combine until evenly coated.
  4. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to blend and the slaw to chill completely.
  5. Before serving, taste and adjust seasoning as needed. You may want to add a little more mayonnaise for extra creaminess.
