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.

CREAMY COLE SLAW



Creamy Cole Slaw image

Spiked with vinegar and spiced with mustard, Bobby Flay's Creamy Coleslaw recipe is the perfect picnic side from Boy Meets Grill on Food Network.

Provided by Bobby Flay

Categories     side-dish

Time 10m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 head green cabbage, finely shredded
2 large carrots, finely shredded
3/4 cup best-quality mayonnaise
2 tablespoons sour cream
2 tablespoons grated Spanish onion
2 tablespoons sugar, or to taste
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1 tablespoon dry mustard
2 teaspoons celery salt
Salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Combine the shredded cabbage and carrots in a large bowl. Whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, onion, sugar, vinegar, mustard, celery salt, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl, and then add to the cabbage mixture. Mix well to combine and taste for seasoning; add more salt, pepper, or sugar if desired.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cabbage. Green cabbage is the most common type used for coleslaw, but you can also use red cabbage or a combination of both. Red cabbage will give your coleslaw a beautiful purple hue.
  • Shred the cabbage finely. This will help the coleslaw dressing to coat the cabbage evenly.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. In addition to cabbage, you can add other vegetables to your coleslaw, such as carrots, celery, bell peppers, or onions. This will add color, texture, and flavor to the dish.
  • Make your own dressing. The dressing is what really makes coleslaw special. You can find many different recipes for coleslaw dressing online or in cookbooks. Or, you can simply whisk together some mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, and mustard.
  • Let the coleslaw chill. After you've made the coleslaw, let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.

Conclusion:

Coleslaw is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed all year long. It's perfect for picnics, potlucks, and backyard barbecues. With so many different variations to choose from, there's sure to be a coleslaw recipe that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy side dish, give coleslaw a try!
