Add a shredded medium head of green cabbage to a large bowl.

Add one diced large red onion, one cup of grated carrots, and two chopped stalks of celery to the bowl and toss.

Note that a food processor can be used for quick vegetable prep, but hand chopping is also fine.

Stir in one cup of sugar and set the vegetables aside.

In a small saucepan over medium heat, add 1 cup of white vinegar, 3/4 cup of vegetable oil, 1 tablespoon of salt, 1 tablespoon of dry mustard, and ground black pepper to taste.

Whisk the dressing and bring it to a boil.

Add the hot dressing by spoonfuls to the vegetables and toss, gauging how much is needed to coat the vegetables lightly and evenly.

You can enjoy the coleslaw right away, but it gets better with time, so consider making it ahead.

Drain the coleslaw really well before serving.
