Method:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, grated carrots, and thinly sliced red onion.
2. In a separate smaller bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, dijon mustard, granulated sugar, and lemon juice until you have a smooth, creamy dressing.
3. Season the dressing with salt, black pepper, and celery seed, adjusting to taste.
4. Pour the creamy dressing over the vegetable mixture.
5. Gently toss the Coleslaw until every bit is coated with the dressing.
6. Refrigerate for at least an hour before serving; this allows the flavors to meld.

Tips:

1. For a richer flavor, let the Coleslaw sit in the fridge for longer — overnight if possible.
2. Always use fresh vegetables for that perfect crunch.
3. If you prefer a sweeter taste, consider adding a little more sugar or some honey to the dressing.
4. For an added kick, throw in some finely chopped jalapeños.

Serving Suggestions:

• Coleslaw with Creamy Dressing is versatile! Serve it alongside grilled meats, sandwiches, or even as a topping for tacos.
• Enhance the color and flavor palette by adding purple cabbage or thinly sliced bell peppers.
• Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or dill for an extra layer of freshness.
