Ingredients

Dressing

  • 3 tbsp. apple cider vinegar
  • 3 tbsp. mayonnaise
  • 3 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp. celery seed
  • 1 tsp. dry mustard
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/3 tsp. black pepper
  • 2 tsp. sugar

  • Add the remaining cabbage mixture and dressing. Stir until well combined.

Notes

  • Creamier — Increase mayo to 1/3 cup and omit the olive oil for super creamy. Or use 1/4 cup mayonnaise and 2 tablespoons olive oil.
  • No mayo — Skip the mayo and use plain or plain Greek yogurt if you still want a creamy texture or simple omit the mayo and increase the olive oil to at least 1/4 cup. Use high quality olive oil particularly and especially if omitting the mayo.
  • Tangier — Increase the apple cider vinegar to 1/4 cup and then by the tablespoon from there until the desired tangy-ness has been reached.
  • Sweeter — Increase the sugar by the teaspoon until it’s reached your sweet spot.
