Ingredients
FOR THE HOMEMADE MAYO (optional)
  • 1 whole egg yolk
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 cup canola oil
FOR THE COLE SLAW
  • 3/4 cup mayo either the homemade recipe above or jarred
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon celery seeds
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 head cabbage diced very small
  • 1 whole carrot shredded
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion from about half an onion
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
Instructions
  1. This cole slaw is best made two days ahead of time or more to really come together. If you decide to make your own mayo, wrap a mixing bowl with a cold, wet towel. Then whisk the egg yolk, Dijon and vinegar together thoroughly in the bowl. Keep whisking while you slowly pour in the oil until you have a thick, luscious mayo. 

  2. It's time to start on the cole slaw next. Whisk 3/4 cup of the homemade mayo or jarred mayo thoroughly in a new bowl with the Dijon, sour cream, apple cider vinegar, celery seeds, salt, black pepper and cayenne to make the dressing. Add the diced cabbage, shredded carrot, chopped onion to a large, sealable container and pour the dressing in with it. Stir it all together thoroughly. Seal the container and let it sit for the two days in the fridge. Serve as a fantastic side!
