This recipe plus a package of slaw mix is a 10-minute side when any last minute meal is needed. Flavors do blend if made ahead and allowed to chill a few hours... makes a more juicy cole slaw if slaw mix and dressing are combined and allowed to chill a few hours as cabbage releases juices.

CREAMY COLE SLAW RECIPE



Creamy Cole Slaw Recipe image

In true country cooking fashion, this is a recipe where one must taste as she goes, adding a little more of this or that as needed. If you like your slaw on the sweet side, add more sugar. Like it tart? Use less sugar and more vinegar.

Provided by Donna Cochran

Categories     Other Side Dishes

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 head cabbage, finely grated
4 Tbsp sugar (or to taste)
3 Tbsp apple cider vinegar (or to taste)
2-4 Tbsp mayonnaise
salt and pepper, to taste
pinch of celery seed, optional
1/4 c carrot, grated, optional

Steps:

  • 1. In a large bowl, whisk sugar and vinegar together until the sugar is completely dissolved. Add mayo and blend dressing until it is smooth and creamy.
  • 2. About 30 minutes before serving, add your cabbage and carrots (if used)- (this is not an overnight slaw). Mix well to coat and season with salt, pepper and celery seed, if desired.

Tips:

  • For a classic creamy coleslaw, use a combination of green and red cabbage, shredded carrots, and thinly sliced red onion.
  • For a sweeter coleslaw, add a tablespoon or two of sugar or honey to the dressing.
  • For a tangier coleslaw, add a tablespoon or two of vinegar or lemon juice to the dressing.
  • For a spicier coleslaw, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the dressing.
  • For a more flavorful coleslaw, add some crumbled bacon, chopped nuts, or grated cheese to the mix.
  • For a lighter coleslaw, use a Greek yogurt-based dressing instead of a mayonnaise-based dressing.
  • To make coleslaw ahead of time, prepare the slaw mix and dressing separately and then combine them just before serving.

Conclusion:

Coleslaw is a versatile and delicious side dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a creamy coleslaw that will be the perfect addition to your next meal.
