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.

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.

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.
