Instructions:
-
Prepare the Vegetables:
- Begin by shredding the cabbage, onions, and carrots. Mix them well in a large bowl until evenly combined.
-
Layering:
- Take a 13×9-inch glass dish and layer the cabbage mixture evenly, sprinkling each layer with sugar as you go. This adds a perfect balance of sweetness to the coleslaw.
-
Prepare the Dressing:
- In a saucepan, combine the celery seed, dry mustard, salt, white vinegar, and oil. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are fully incorporated.
-
Bring to a Boil:
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. This helps to infuse the flavors and create a harmonious dressing for the coleslaw.
-
Pour Over the Cabbage:
- Once the dressing is boiled, carefully pour it over the layered cabbage mixture in the glass dish. Ensure that the dressing covers the entire surface evenly.
-
Refrigerate and Meld Flavors:
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least a day, ideally overnight, to allow the flavors to meld together. During this time, the coleslaw will absorb the dressing, resulting in a more flavorful and delicious dish.
-
Stir Occasionally:
- While refrigerating, remember to stir the coleslaw occasionally. This helps to distribute the dressing evenly and ensures that every bite is bursting with flavor.
-
Serve and Enjoy:
- Once the coleslaw has chilled and the flavors have melded to perfection, it’s ready to serve! Enjoy this classic side dish alongside your favorite main courses, sandwiches, or barbecue spreads. 🥗🍴
