The dressing balances complementary elements:
- Mayonnaise gives creaminess and body so the vegetables are evenly coated.
- Rice vinegar supplies bright acidity to cut the richness of the mayonnaise and lift the flavors.
- Sugar softens the vinegar’s edge and complements the mandarins’ sweetness for balance.
- Ground mustard and celery seed add subtle sharpness and savory depth—ground mustard helps bind the dressing components while celery seed lends a warm, slightly bitter note characteristic of many coleslaws.
Quick texture and assembly tips
- Drained mandarins: The recipe specifies drained mandarin oranges; removing excess juice prevents the salad from becoming watery.
- Thin fennel slices: Slicing fennel to the 1/8-inch thickness called for preserves a crisp bite and helps it integrate with the shredded cabbage.
