Best 6 Fresh Vinaigrette Coleslaw Dressing Recipes
**Fresh Vinaigrette Coleslaw Dressing: A Tangy Twist to Your Favorite Side Dish**
Coleslaw, a classic side dish often served at barbecues, picnics, and potlucks, has undergone a delightful transformation with the introduction of a fresh vinaigrette dressing. This dressing, a vibrant blend of tangy vinegar, zesty lemon juice, sweet honey, and aromatic herbs, elevates the traditional mayonnaise-based coleslaw to new heights. Not only does it offer a lighter and more refreshing alternative, but it also adds a burst of flavor that complements the crunchy cabbage and carrots perfectly. This article presents two variations of the fresh vinaigrette coleslaw dressing: a classic vinaigrette and a creamy vinaigrette. Both dressings are incredibly easy to make and can be tailored to your personal taste preferences. With just a few simple ingredients and a few minutes of your time, you can create a dressing that will turn your ordinary coleslaw into an extraordinary side dish that everyone will love.

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.
VINAIGRETTE COLESLAW
"Coleslaw is one of my husband's favorite side dishes," says Shirley Glaab from Hattiesburg, Mississippi. "We love this version because it's not as sweet as other slaws, but it's very colorful and the ingredients always make our mouths water."

BASIC VINAIGRETTE DRESSING WITH 8 VARIATIONS
Bottled salad dressing can be convenient but its expensive and often full of salt, sugar, and chemical additives. Making your own is simple and allows you to customize the seasonings to suit whatever meal you are preparing. The amounts given make about 1/4 cup and can be expanded infinitely for larger salads. It can be made several days ahead and kept in the fridge. Sorry about the slightly odd way of putting the ingredients for the creamy dressing variations. The recipe editor is picky about what it will accept.

Steps:
- Shake all ingredients for your chosen variation together in a tightly-lidded container OR whisk together in a small bowl.
- Let stand 10 minutes to rehydrate dried herbs and blend flavors.
- Shake again then dress salad as desired.
- Note -- I recommend the lemon dressing on spinach.
- Note -- I recommend the Bacon Dressing, Mustard Dressing, and Balsamic Vinaigrette on strong greens such as escarole, curly endive, and dandelion greens.
- Note -- The sweeter version of the mustard dressing is great for a vinegar coleslaw if you discover that you have accidentally gotten one of those occasional cabbages that are a touch on the bitter side.
- Note -- feel free to play with other seasonings, more complex blends, flavored oils, and flavored vinegars. Once you've learned the technique you can customize your salad dressing to suit just about any meal.
Tips:
- For a tangy and flavorful vinaigrette, use a good quality vinegar, such as apple cider vinegar or white wine vinegar.
- Freshly squeezed lemon juice adds a bright and citrusy flavor to the dressing. If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice.
- Use a neutral-flavored oil, such as canola oil or vegetable oil, for the vinaigrette. This will allow the other flavors in the dressing to shine through.
- Season the dressing to taste with salt and pepper. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as Dijon mustard, garlic powder, or onion powder.
- Let the dressing sit for at least 30 minutes before using to allow the flavors to meld.
- Toss the coleslaw with the dressing just before serving. This will help prevent the coleslaw from getting soggy.
Conclusion:
This fresh vinaigrette coleslaw dressing is a healthy and delicious way to add flavor to your favorite coleslaw recipe. It's easy to make and can be customized to your own taste preferences. Whether you're serving it at a backyard barbecue or a holiday party, this dressing is sure to be a hit.
