Cooking Instructions:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the finely shredded cabbage and grated carrots. Toss them together until well mixed.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until the dressing is smooth and creamy.

Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrot mixture. Using salad tongs or a large spoon, gently toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the coleslaw for at least 1 hour before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and enhances the overall taste.

Just before serving, give the coleslaw another gentle toss, and add optional chopped green onions or parsley for an extra touch of revitalization.

For an even more flavorful coleslaw, consider letting it sit overnight in the refrigerator. This allows the ingredients to soften slightly and the flavors to develop further. Additionally, feel free to customize the recipe by adding other ingredients, such as diced apples, raisins, or even a touch of spice with some cayenne pepper for those who enjoy a little heat. Enjoy your potluck!
