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

Ingredients

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.

Tips:

Use a sharp knife or mandoline to thinly slice the cabbage and carrots. This will help the coleslaw to marinate more evenly and absorb the dressing better.
If you don't have a mandoline, you can use a food processor with the slicing blade attached. Just be careful not to over-process the cabbage and carrots, or they will become mushy.
Rinse the cabbage and carrots thoroughly before slicing them. This will help to remove any dirt or debris.
Use a variety of vegetables in your coleslaw. Some good options include broccoli, cauliflower, celery, and bell peppers.
Don't be afraid to experiment with different dressings. There are many different ways to make a coleslaw dressing, so find one that you like and stick with it.
Coleslaw is a great make-ahead dish. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Coleslaw is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy side dish, give coleslaw a try. You won't be disappointed!
