THE BEST CREAMY COLESLAW



The Best Creamy Coleslaw image

We made our cool, crunchy slaw with just the right amount of tang from sour cream and vinegar. A bit of honey balances the acidity. This classic summer side dish would be welcome at any picnic or backyard BBQ.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     side-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

5 cups thinly sliced green cabbage
1 cup grated carrots
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon honey
1/2 teaspoon celery salt
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Toss together the cabbage and carrots in a large bowl.
  • Whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, vinegar, mustard, honey and celery salt in a medium bowl. Pour the dressing over the shredded vegetables and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Season with more salt and pepper before serving.

Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife or mandoline to thinly slice the cabbage. This will help the coleslaw absorb the dressing more easily and make it more tender.
  • Add some shredded carrots or kohlrabi to the coleslaw for extra crunch and sweetness.
  • Be careful not to overdress the coleslaw. You want the dressing to coat the cabbage, but you don't want it to be soggy.
  • Let the coleslaw chill for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the cabbage to soften slightly.
  • Serve the coleslaw with your favorite German dishes, such as bratwurst, schnitzel, or rouladen.
