Best 5 Crisp Pickled Cole Slaw Recipes

FREEZER SLAW

Steps:

• Combine cabbage, green bell pepper, onion, and carrots in a large bowl. Mix boiling water and salt together in a bowl and pour over cabbage mixture. Set aside for salt to draw out extra water from vegetables, about 1 hour. Drain well.
• Mix sugar, 1 cup water, cider vinegar, and celery seed in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Cook and stir until sugar is dissolved, about 1 minute. Remove saucepan from heat and cool completely.
• Pour cooled sugar-vinegar mixture over drained cabbage mixture in a large bowl and toss until slaw is well mixed. Spoon slaw into resealable plastic bags and freeze.

LOWCOUNTRY PICKLED COLESLAW

Steps:

• Make the slaw: Put the chopped and diced vegetables in a bowl or other container that will fit in the refrigerator.
• Make the dressing: Crush the garlic, and with the side of a knife work the salt into the clove until it makes a rough paste. Add the garlic paste, ginger, vinegar, oil and 1/3 cup water to a saucepan and bring to a low boil. Cook for 3 or 4 minutes, stirring now and then. Remove from heat. Allow to cool for 1 or 2 minutes, then pour over the vegetables, tossing well to combine. Refrigerate 4 hours or overnight.
• Just before serving, toss with the lime juice and a few grinds of black pepper. Taste and add salt if needed.

PICKLE COLESLAW

Steps:

• Whisk together the honey, vinegar, mayonnaise and mustard in a small bowl. Slowly drizzle in the oil, whisking to combine. Season well with salt and pepper. (Alternatively, add the honey, vinegar, mayonnaise and mustard to a mason jar with a lid, cover and shake well. Add the oil and shake well once more.)
• Combine the cabbage, red onion, Chinese celery and pickles to taste in a large bowl. Pour the dressing over the vegetables and mix well. Taste and season with salt and pepper. For an extra kick of flavor, mix in some pickle juice if using to taste. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

PICKLEBACK SLAW

Steps:

• Cut the cabbages in half and remove the core from each side. Cut each half in half and slice each resulting quarter into thin ribbons. Mix with carrots and apples in a large nonreactive bowl.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the remaining ingredients.
• Pour the dressing over the cabbage and toss. Season to taste. The coleslaw may be covered with plastic wrap and refrigerated. Toss again before serving.
