- 2 large carrots, grated

Instructions to Coleslaw Glory
- First up, chop and shred! Grab your green and red cabbage and make those shreds as fine as you can. The finer the shred, the better the crunch—it’s science!
- Now, let’s make it rainbow-tastic: add the grated carrots and diced bell pepper. This salad is going to be prettier than a peacock in a tiara.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, and honey until smooth. Don’t be shy, get in there and mix it up like you mean it!
- Time to combine our two worlds! Pour the creamy dressing over the colorful shreds of cabbage and veggies. Toss it like it’s hot until everything is well-coated. You want every bit of that crunch to be in on the flavor action!
- Sprinkle the celery seed, season with salt and pepper, toss once more, and taste for goodness. Adjust the seasoning if necessary because you know your palate better than anyone else!
- Finally, let’s play the waiting game. Cover the coleslaw and let it chill in the fridge for at least an hour. This allows the flavors to mingle and throw a little party of their own. Trust us, the wait will be worth it!
- Serve cold, and watch as your guests go gaga over the vibrant colors and addictive crunch. Enjoy your coleslaw showdown!
There you have it, folks! A coleslaw that’s not only a feast for the eyes but also a crunchy delight that will have everyone reaching for more. Remember, life is too short for boring salads—let the fun begin with this colorful creation!
