Time 30m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 medium cabbage, shredded
1 green pepper, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
1 onion, chopped
1 cup white sugar
1 cup vinegar
2 teaspoons celery seeds
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup oil

Steps:

Tips:

  • For a more authentic German coleslaw, use a mandoline or sharp knife to thinly slice the cabbage.
  • If you don't have a mandoline or sharp knife, you can use a food processor fitted with the slicing blade. Just be careful not to over-process the cabbage, or it will become mushy.
  • Use a variety of cabbages for a more flavorful coleslaw. Try using a combination of green cabbage, red cabbage, and Savoy cabbage.
  • Add other vegetables to your coleslaw, such as carrots, celery, or radishes.
  • Use a light and tangy dressing for your coleslaw. A simple vinaigrette made with olive oil, vinegar, and mustard is a good option.
  • Season your coleslaw to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Chill your coleslaw for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

German 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. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy side dish, give German coleslaw a try. You won't be disappointed!
