Creamy Coleslaw
Make this side at home to avoid the chemical preservatives in a store kit.
Ingredients
Slaw
- 1 head green cabbage, shredded
- 4 large whole carrots, skinned and chopped
- 1/4 head red cabbage, shredded
Dressing
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 2 Tbsp sugar
- 2 Tbsp distilled white vinegar
- 2 tsp celery seed
- 2 dashes salt
Instructions
- Wash and shred your cabbage, skin and rough chop your carrots. (If you need a shortcut, purchase a bag of coleslaw base from the store)1 head green cabbage, shredded, 4 large whole carrots, skinned and chopped, 1/4 head red cabbage, shredded
- In a separate bowl, mix your coleslaw dressing and mix well. Taste your dressing. If you prefer it sweeter, add more sugar 1 tsp at a time till perfect.1 cup mayonnaise, 2 Tbsp sugar, 2 Tbsp distilled white vinegar, 2 tsp celery seed, 2 dashes salt
- Pour dressing over cabbage slaw and mix. Cabbage may appear dry, but will release moisture while marinating.
- Chill in the fridge for a few hours to overnight for flavors to marry.
- Occasionally stir slaw, if you think it needs more dressing, whip up a small batch and add to coleslaw.
Notes
You can buy classic coleslaw base as a shortcut. I used 2 -14oz bags in the video.
My people love sweet, creamy coleslaw, so I add more sugar as I'm making the dressing.
