THE BEST VINEGAR COLESLAW



The Best Vinegar Coleslaw image

We love the zippiness that a vinegar-based dressing brings to this coleslaw, making it the perfect partner for rich, meaty dishes like pulled pork or ribs. Cabbage can take lots of seasoning and lots of vinegar, so don't be bashful. But the real secret to this colorful coleslaw is the marinating time - a long trip to the fridge softens up the veggies and gives them time to absorb the flavors of the vinaigrette. A drizzle of olive oil at the end balances the acidity.

I got this from my MIL on Labor Day - one of the best dishes she's ever brought to share. It's fun to mix half a red cabbage and half a green for more color. Great with BBQ meals, fried chicken, and more! Take it easy on the salt, you can always add more after it sits in the fridge.
