This versatile dish can be served alongside grilled meats, fried chicken, or fish, or as a topping for tacos, sandwiches, and burgers.

Categories Other Salads

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

3 pound(s) cabbage head, coarsely chopped
1 - green bell pepper, chopped
2 - white onions, chopped
1 cup(s) sugar
1/2 cup(s) salad oil
1/2 cup(s) white vinegar
1 teaspoon(s) salt
1/2 teaspoon(s) celery seed

Steps:

Mix all chopped vegetables in a very large bowl with lid.
Cook together sugar, vegetable oil, vinegar and seasonings until dissolved. Do not scorch.
Pour hot dressing over slaw. Cover and refrigerate, stirring a few times to marinate. Keeps three weeks.

Tips:

Use a sharp knife or mandoline to thinly slice the cabbage and carrots. This will help the coleslaw absorb the dressing better and make it more flavorful.
If you don't have a mandoline, you can use a food processor fitted with the slicing blade. Just be careful not to over-process the vegetables, or they will become mushy.
Use a variety of cabbages and carrots for a more colorful and flavorful coleslaw. Red cabbage, green cabbage, and savoy cabbage are all good options.
Add other vegetables to your coleslaw, such as broccoli, cauliflower, or bell peppers. This will add more nutrients and flavor to the dish.
Use a flavorful dressing for your coleslaw. A simple vinaigrette made with olive oil, vinegar, sugar, and salt and pepper is a good option. You can also use a mayonnaise-based dressing, or a creamy dressing made with sour cream or yogurt.
Let the coleslaw rest for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the coleslaw to become more flavorful.

Conclusion:

Coleslaw is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. It is a great way to add some extra vegetables to your diet, and it is also a good source of vitamins and minerals. With so many different variations to choose from, there is sure to be a coleslaw recipe that everyone will enjoy.
