Ingredients

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 Tablespoons Dijon or whole-grain mustard
  • 2 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
  • ¾ teaspoon coarse Kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried onion powder or 1 tablespoon grated onion
  • 2 teaspoons celery seed (required for classic coleslaw flavor)
  • 16 ounces coleslaw mix
  • ½ minced green bell pepper (optional)

Instructions

  • Combine the mayo, mustard, cider vinegar, sugar, salt, onion powder, and celery seed in a medium bowl. Whisk well.
  • Place the coleslaw mix and green bell pepper, if using, in a large bowl. Pour the dressing over top and toss to coat. Serve immediately or refrigerate up to 5 days.

Notes

  • The farther ahead you make the slaw, the soggier and less crunchy it will be. Some people prefer it that way, but personally I enjoy it best made fresh.
