THE BEST CREAMY COLESLAW (GOURMET MAG)
Let me first say that as a general rule, I don't like coleslaw. However, this coleslaw is AMAZING and is a far cry from the limp, sugary, slop that is on most menus. It pairs perfectly on top of a pulled pork sandwich or as a side dish with any other BBQ or picnic fare. It has just the right balance of sweet and tart. The recipe is from the June 2008 issue of Gourmet Magazine and is by far the greatest and freshest out there. Note: I can only guarantee results by chopping up your own cabbage as the recipe calls for... I haven't used one of those pre-shredded coleslaw mixes and don't know how it will turn out if you decide to take that shortcut. *Cook time is "refrigeration" time.

Steps:
- Finely chop or shred cabbage. (A food processor's fine slicing disk does this super well!).
- Toss all vegetables in a large bowl with salt and pepper.
- Whisk together mayonnaise, vinegar, and sugar.
- Toss with slaw.
- Chill, covered, stirring occasionally, at least 1 hour (for vegetables to wilt and flavors to blend).
Tips:
- Use a sharp knife or mandoline to thinly slice the cabbage and carrots for even cooking and a crisp texture.
- For a creamier coleslaw, use a combination of mayonnaise and sour cream or Greek yogurt in the dressing.
- Add a touch of sweetness to the dressing with honey, maple syrup, or sugar.
- For a tangy coleslaw, add a splash of vinegar or lemon juice to the dressing.
- Add some crunch to the coleslaw with chopped nuts, seeds, or crumbled bacon.
- Garnish the coleslaw with fresh herbs, such as parsley, cilantro, or chives, for a pop of color and flavor.
