Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 11

3/4 c apple cider vinegar
1 c white sugar
1/4 c water
1 tsp celery seed
1 tsp dry mustard
1 tsp whole mustard seed
2 tsp salt
1 medium head green cabbage
1 large carrot
1 large green bell pepper
1 large red bell pepper

Steps:

  • 1. In a medium saucepan, combine the apple cider vinegar, sugar, water, celery seed and mustard.
  • 2. Over medium-high heat bring to a boil, stirring constantly to dissolve sugar, then boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
  • 3. Using a food processor, finely grate the green cabbage, carrot and bell peppers.
  • 4. Place the finely grated vegetables into a large bowl, stir in salt and set aside for 1 hour.
  • 5. Drain vegetables but do not rinse. Add the cooled dressing, reserving 1/4 cup, and stir to combine. Cover and refrigerate overnight, both slaw and reserved dressing.
  • 6. Before serving uncover slaw and give it a good stir. If it's swimming in juice drain it but keep it moist. Add the 1/4 cup reserved dressing to brighten it back up.
