Equipment

  • Food processor
  • Large mixing bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon caraway seeds
  • 6 tablespoons canola oil instead of vegetable oil, for a milder flavor
  • 6 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 onion thinly julienned
  • 1 large carrot coarsely shredded
  • 1 head green cabbage finely shredded
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prepare the Vegetables

  • First, you need to julienne the onion, shred the carrot coarsely and finely shred the cabbage. If you have a food processor, great—it’ll make quick work of this. Otherwise, a sharp knife and a bit of patience will do the trick. Place all shredded vegetables in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2: Make the Dressing

  • In a separate bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, caraway seeds, canola oil, granulated sugar, and apple cider vinegar. This will form the backbone of your coleslaw’s flavor profile.

Step 3: Combine Everything

  • Pour the dressing mix over the shredded vegetables. Toss everything thoroughly to ensure each piece of cabbage and carrot gets a flavorful coating.

Step 4: Season to Taste

  • Add salt and freshly ground black pepper to your liking. Stir again to mix the seasoning evenly.

Step 5: Let It Rest

  • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for at least an hour. The flavors meld together beautifully as it sits.

Notes

Here are some tips to perfect your coleslaw:
  • Use fresh veggies: Freshness matters for that crunch.
  • Adjust the sugar and vinegar: Tailor the sweetness and tanginess according to your taste preference.
  • Refrigeration time: Let it sit longer for better flavor.
  • Even slicing: Uniformly sized veggies ensure a consistent bite.
  • Taste test: Don’t be shy to taste as you go and adjust the seasoning.
