THE BEST VINEGAR COLESLAW
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.

Steps:
- Whisk together the vinegar, salt, sugar, celery salt, pepper and garlic in a large bowl until combined. Reserve 1/4 cup of the dressing for serving. Toss the green cabbage, red cabbage and carrots in the remaining dressing until the vegetables are completely coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 3.
- Strain the coleslaw through a colander and discard the liquid. Transfer the coleslaw to a serving bowl. Drizzle with the reserved dressing and the oil. Season with salt and pepper if necessary. Toss to coat.

Steps:
- Combine the shredded cabbage and carrots in a large bowl.

Mix well to combine and taste for seasoning; add more salt, pepper, or sugar if desired.
FAT DADDY'S FANCY SLAW
Steps:
- Combine the vinegar, lemon juice and zest, if using, in a large mixing bowl. Cut the apple into a very small dice (brunoise) and immediately add it to the bowl to avoid browning. Add the mayonnaise, blue cheese, mustard, thyme, black pepper and sea salt to the bowl, and mix thoroughly. Set aside.
- Combine the carrots, green cabbage and red cabbage in a separate large bowl.
- Dress the cabbage mixture with the mayonnaise dressing until evenly coated, but not drowning in dressing.
COLESLAW
This classic version of coleslaw is also the simplest, with a light, creamy, tangy-sweet dressing spiked with celery seeds. For the best result, make the coleslaw a few hours ahead and refrigerate it to allow all the flavors to marry and soak into the cabbage. Celery seeds add strong, aromatic, grassy notes, but simply skip them if they're unavailable. For extra flair, you could add ½ cup of your favorite chopped fresh herb, such as parsley, tarragon or dill. Leftovers make a great topping for tacos, hot dogs, sliders and sandwiches.

Steps:
- In a very large bowl, combine mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar and celery seeds. Season with salt and pepper, and mix until smooth.
- Shred the cabbage: Using a sharp knife, quarter and core the green cabbage. Arrange quarters cut side down, so they sit flat and stable. Thinly slice them lengthwise for longer shreds (or crosswise for shorter shreds). Repeat with the purple cabbage. You should get about 16 total cups of shredded green and purple cabbage.
- Add all the shredded cabbage and the shredded carrots to the bowl, season with salt and pepper, and toss until well combined. (Hands work best here.)
- Transfer coleslaw to a serving bowl and serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate 3 hours ahead of time and up to overnight for the best texture, and serve chilled.

Tips:
- Use a sharp knife or mandoline to thinly slice the cabbage and carrots. This will help them absorb the dressing better and make the slaw more flavorful.
- If you don't have a mandoline, you can use a food processor fitted with the slicing blade. Just be careful not to over-process the vegetables, or they will become mushy.
- Use a variety of cabbage and carrot colors to make the slaw more visually appealing. Red cabbage, purple carrots, and yellow carrots are all great options.
- Add other vegetables to the slaw, such as broccoli, cauliflower, or snap peas. This will add more flavor and texture to the dish.
- Experiment with different dressings. A mayonnaise-based dressing is classic, but you can also try a vinaigrette, a yogurt-based dressing, or even a fruit-based dressing.
- Serve the slaw immediately or chill it for later. It will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Fancy coleslaw is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed on its own or as part of a larger meal. It's also a great way to use up leftover vegetables. With so many different variations to choose from, there's sure to be a fancy coleslaw recipe that everyone will love.
