This has been a very popular salad from my recipe box for a long, long time! Before I retired, when my office had a covered-dish-get-together, I was always asked to bring my tangy coleslaw. My family loves it, too. -Fern Hammock, Garland, Texas

THE BEST VINEGAR COLESLAW



The Best Vinegar Coleslaw image

We love the zippiness that a vinegar-based dressing brings to this coleslaw, making it the perfect partner for rich, meaty dishes like pulled pork or ribs. Cabbage can take lots of seasoning and lots of vinegar, so don't be bashful. But the real secret to this colorful coleslaw is the marinating time - a long trip to the fridge softens up the veggies and gives them time to absorb the flavors of the vinaigrette. A drizzle of olive oil at the end balances the acidity.

COLESLAW



Coleslaw image

This classic version of coleslaw is also the simplest, with a light, creamy, tangy-sweet dressing spiked with celery seeds. For the best result, make the coleslaw a few hours ahead and refrigerate it to allow all the flavors to marry and soak into the cabbage. Celery seeds add strong, aromatic, grassy notes, but simply skip them if they're unavailable. For extra flair, you could add ½ cup of your favorite chopped fresh herb, such as parsley, tarragon or dill. Leftovers make a great topping for tacos, hot dogs, sliders and sandwiches.

Time 10m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon celery seeds
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 medium head green cabbage (about 2 pounds)
1/2 medium head purple cabbage (about 1 pound)
2 carrots, grated on the large holes of a box grater

Steps:

  • In a very large bowl, combine mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar and celery seeds. Season with salt and pepper, and mix until smooth.
  • Shred the cabbage: Using a sharp knife, quarter and core the green cabbage. Arrange quarters cut side down, so they sit flat and stable. Thinly slice them lengthwise for longer shreds (or crosswise for shorter shreds). Repeat with the purple cabbage. You should get about 16 total cups of shredded green and purple cabbage.
  • Add all the shredded cabbage and the shredded carrots to the bowl, season with salt and pepper, and toss until well combined. (Hands work best here.)
  • Transfer coleslaw to a serving bowl and serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate 3 hours ahead of time and up to overnight for the best texture, and serve chilled.

24 HOUR COLE SLAW RECIPE



24 Hour Cole Slaw Recipe image

Provided by Carla-3

Number Of Ingredients 10

Dressing:
3 lbs. cabbage
1 1/2 c. sugar
1 medium onion, chopped
Cut this up and cover with sugar.
1 Tbsp. sugar
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. mustard
1 tsp. celery seed
3/4 c. vinegar

Steps:

  • Put the dressing together and bring to a boil. Then add 3/4 c. cooking oil and bring to a boil again. Let cook and pour over cabbage mixture. Best if not eaten for 24 hours.

Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife or mandoline to thinly slice the cabbage. This will help the slaw absorb the dressing more evenly.
  • Don't overdress the slaw. You want the dressing to coat the cabbage, but you don't want it to be soggy.
  • Let the slaw chill for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Serve the slaw as a side dish or on top of sandwiches, tacos, or hot dogs.
  • Experiment with different variations of the recipe. Try adding other vegetables, such as carrots, celery, or bell peppers. Or, try using a different type of dressing, such as a vinaigrette or a creamy dressing.

Conclusion:

24-hour coleslaw is a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a simple and delicious side dish, give 24-hour coleslaw a try.
