A tangy and flavorful coleslaw perfect for gatherings.
Shred the cabbage into thin strips and place it in a large mixing bowl.
Use a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer for evenly shredded cabbage.
Grate the carrots and finely chop the onion, then add them to the bowl with the cabbage.
Grating the carrots adds a nice texture and sweetness to the coleslaw.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, mustard, sugar, celery seed, vinegar, and pepper until smooth.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning to your preference.
Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss until everything is evenly coated.
Ensure all the vegetables are well coated for the best flavor.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least an hour before serving.
Chilling allows the flavors to meld together for a more cohesive taste.
Serve the coleslaw chilled as a side dish or topping.
Garnish with a sprinkle of celery seed or fresh herbs for added presentation.
