How to Make Mixed Coleslaw

  1. In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, carrots, and red onion.
  2. In a small saucepan, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, pepper, and celery seed.
  3. Bring the dressing mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is slightly thickened (about 2-3 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  4. Pour the cooled dressing over the vegetable mixture and toss gently to combine.
  5. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld. The longer it chills, the better it tastes!
  6. Serve chilled and enjoy! Perfect as a side dish or a creative hot dog topping.
