Coleslaw is a crowd favorite, and there are so many ways to make it; simple and quick or over-the-top with a variety of vegetables, textures and dressings.

1 (10 to 16 ounce) package shredded cabbage

3 teaspoons salt, divided

¼ cup apple cider vinegar (choose unpasteurized, unfiltered for health benefits)

¼ cup real maple syrup

¼ cup good quality nut, olive or sunflower oil

1 tablespoon yellow mustard

1 teaspoon celery seed

¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Place shredded cabbage in medium bowl. Sprinkle with 2 teaspoons of salt and toss together. Let sit for several hours, then drain excess water. You can skip this step, but it makes for a less watered-down coleslaw.

In a small bowl, mix together the dressing ingredients. Pour over cabbage and toss to coat evenly. Taste and adjust seasonings. Chill and serve. The longer it sits, the better it tastes.
