Creamy Coleslaw ### Ingredients:

1 medium head of green cabbage, finely shredded
2 large carrots, grated
1 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon celery seed
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

Begin by preparing the vegetables. Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage, then cut it into quarters, removing the core. Shred the cabbage finely using a sharp knife or a mandoline. Place the shredded cabbage in a large mixing bowl.
Next, wash and peel the carrots. Grate them using a box grater or food processor, then add them to the bowl with the cabbage.
In a separate bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, and celery seed. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrot mixture. Toss everything gently until the vegetables are well-coated with the dressing.
Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the coleslaw for at least 30 minutes before serving. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld and the cabbage to soften slightly.
Before serving, give the coleslaw a good stir and adjust the seasoning if needed. Enjoy this creamy coleslaw as a side dish at your next gathering!

This coleslaw not only brings a delightful crunch but also adds a creamy element that balances perfectly with savory dishes. It can be prepared ahead of time, making it a convenient option for busy chefs looking to impress their guests.
