Ingredients

  • 14 ounce bag of coleslaw mix such as Dole Coleslaw Mix
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon celery salt
  • Cracked black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sugar, apple cider vinegar, mustard, lemon juice, salt, celery salt, and pepper until combined.
  • Place the coleslaw mix in a large mixing bowl and pour the dressing over the cabbage. Toss everything together with a wooden spoon or silicone-tipped tongs so that all of the cabbage is coated with the dressing. Serve coleslaw immediately or refrigerate for up to three hours before serving.

Notes

  • This coleslaw can also be made with freshly shredded cabbage and carrots.
  • Leftover coleslaw can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
