A delightful twist on the classic coleslaw, perfect for any gathering.
Shred the cabbage finely and place it in a large mixing bowl.
Use a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer for even shreds.
Grate the carrots and dice the bell pepper and onion, then add them to the bowl with the cabbage.
Ensure the vegetables are cut into similar sizes for uniform texture.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sugar, mustard, vinegar, celery seeds, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning to your preference.
Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss until everything is well coated.
Use a large spoon to ensure the dressing is evenly distributed.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to let the flavors meld.
Stir the coleslaw before serving to redistribute the dressing.
Serve the coleslaw chilled as a side dish or topping.
Garnish with a sprinkle of celery seeds for a decorative touch.
