- 1 medium green cabbage, finely shredded
- 2 large carrots, grated
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions or parsley for garnish
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage and grated carrots. Toss them together until evenly mixed.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Make sure the dressing is well combined and smooth.
- Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrot mixture. Toss everything together until the vegetables are well coated with the dressing.
- If you’re adding green onions or parsley, fold them in at this stage for an extra burst of flavor.
