The method

Step by step

1
In a very large, non-reactive bowl, combine the sliced cabbage, julienned bell peppers, and sliced onions.
About 3 min
Cook’s note: A glass or stainless steel bowl works best as plastic can retain odors.
2
Sprinkle the sugar for the vegetable toss over the mixed vegetables and toss thoroughly to combine.
About 1 min
3
In a small saucepan, combine the white vinegar, the sugar for the dressing, celery seed, dry mustard powder, and salt.
About 1 min
4
Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a rolling boil, stirring until the sugar and salt have completely dissolved.
About 4 min
5
Immediately and carefully pour the hot dressing over the vegetable mixture in the bowl.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: Pouring the dressing while it's hot helps to slightly soften the cabbage and allows the flavors to penetrate better.
6
Stir everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated with the hot dressing.
About 1 min
7
Allow the coleslaw to cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.
About 4 hr
Cook’s note: The flavor and texture improve significantly after marinating overnight.
