Tips:

  • Choose the right cabbage: Green cabbage is the most common type used for coleslaw, but you can also use red cabbage or a mix of both. For a sweeter coleslaw, use savoy cabbage.
  • Shred the cabbage thinly: This will help the cabbage absorb the dressing better and make the coleslaw more tender.
  • Use a sharp knife or mandoline: This will help you get even, thin shreds of cabbage.
  • Make sure the vegetables are cold before adding the dressing: This will help the dressing set and prevent the coleslaw from becoming watery.
  • Taste the dressing before adding it to the coleslaw: Make sure it is the right balance of sweet, sour, and tangy.
  • Add the dressing to the coleslaw just before serving: This will prevent the coleslaw from becoming soggy.

Conclusion:

Honey mustard coleslaw is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover cabbage and other vegetables, and it can be made ahead of time, making it a convenient option for busy weeknights. With its sweet, tangy, and creamy dressing, honey mustard coleslaw is sure to please everyone at your table.
