Start by collecting all the ingredients. You won’t want to run around the kitchen mid-recipe, so have everything ready. Measure them out and set them in front of you.

Finely chop the green cabbage. Make sure you pay attention to the cut. You’re aiming for pieces that are bite-sized, not massive chunks. Next, shred the carrots and finely dice the yellow onion. Each ingredient plays a crucial role in the texture and flavor, so take your time.

In a separate large bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sugar, sweet pickle relish, dill pickle relish, white vinegar, yellow mustard, vegetable oil, and lemon juice. Whisk them together until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency. It will look delicious already.

Now, add the chopped cabbage, shredded carrots, and diced onion to the bowl of dressing. Use a spatula or large spoon to ensure every piece of vegetable is coated in that creamy goodness. This step is vital because every bite should be flavorful.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid, and let the coleslaw chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour. This waiting game is where the flavors meld beautifully. When you’re ready to serve, give it a quick toss and enjoy!
