**3-Week Cole Slaw: A Tangy and Refreshing Summertime Treat**
With summer just around the corner, it's time to start thinking about all the delicious summertime dishes we can enjoy. One of my personal favorites is coleslaw, a classic dish that is perfect for potlucks, picnics, and backyard barbecues. In this article, we'll share three unique recipes for 3-week coleslaw, each with its own distinct flavor profile.
Our first recipe is a classic coleslaw with a creamy, tangy dressing. We'll use a combination of mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, and spices to create a dressing that perfectly complements the crisp cabbage and carrots.
Our second recipe is a vinegar-based coleslaw, which is a lighter and more refreshing take on the classic dish. We'll use a combination of vinegar, oil, and herbs to create a dressing that is both flavorful and tangy.
Finally, our third recipe is a spicy coleslaw, which is perfect for those who like a little bit of heat in their food. We'll use a combination of chili peppers, cayenne pepper, and cumin to create a dressing that is sure to wake up your taste buds.
No matter which recipe you choose, you're sure to enjoy this delicious and refreshing summertime treat. So gather your ingredients and get ready to make some 3-week coleslaw!
NINE-DAY COLESLAW
This easy coleslaw is great because it lasts refrigerated so long. The longer you let it marinate, the better it tastes.-Mildred Iglehart, Calhoun, Kentucky

COLESLAW
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.

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.

- Be sure to rinse the cabbage and other vegetables thoroughly before slicing, to remove any dirt or debris.
- For a creamy coleslaw, use a mayonnaise-based dressing. For a lighter, more tangy coleslaw, use a vinegar-based dressing.
- Add some shredded carrots, celery, or red onion to the coleslaw for extra crunch and flavor.
- Season the coleslaw to taste with salt and pepper. You can also add a pinch of sugar to balance out the acidity of the vinegar.
- Let the coleslaw chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving, to allow the flavors to develop.
