PERMANENT SLAW RECIPE



Permanent Slaw Recipe image

Like a cross between a vinegar-based coleslaw and chowchow, Permanent Slaw is tender and tangy. This easy salad is designed to be prepared in advance. Made with finely shredded angel hair cabbage, carrot, bell pepper, sweet onions, and a sweet and sour apple cider vinegar dressing, the longer this side dish sits, the more flavorful it becomes (hence the name). Serve the dish on its own at a cookout (it's delicious with grilled chicken or pork) or use it to top pulled pork or chicken sandwiches.

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.

Tips:

  • To make the slaw last longer, use a vinegar-based dressing instead of a mayonnaise-based one. Vinegar-based dressings are more acidic, which helps to preserve the slaw.
  • If you're using a mayonnaise-based dressing, make sure to use fresh mayonnaise. Old mayonnaise can easily spoil, and it can also make the slaw taste sour.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your slaw. This will add flavor, color, and texture. Some good options include cabbage, carrots, celery, and onion.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different dressings. There are many different types of dressings that can be used on slaw, so feel free to try something new.
  • Slaw is a great side dish for a variety of meals. It's perfect for picnics, potlucks, and barbecues.

Conclusion:

Forever slaw is a refreshing and versatile dish that can be enjoyed all year long. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you're looking for a healthy and delicious side dish, give forever slaw a try.
