CREAMY BLACK PEPPER COLESLAW
Cutting the cabbage coarsely gives the dish a different look from shredded-cabbage slaws. A full teaspoon of black pepper lends pleasant warm heat without overpowering. Make the dish up to one day ahead if you like-the veggies will stay crisp and the flavors will meld as the slaw chills.

CREAMY COLESLAW

LOWER-FAT COLESLAW
I've been trying to create a coleslaw dressing with the lowest possible fat intake. This is as low as I could go without taking away the flavor. It's a family favorite and we use it with all kinds of meals, in wraps, in sandwiches, with burgers, and as a side during BBQs.

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:
- For the creamiest coleslaw, use a combination of mayonnaise and Greek yogurt or sour cream.
- Add some freshly squeezed lemon juice or apple cider vinegar to brighten up the flavors.
- For a sweeter coleslaw, add a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup.
- To add some crunch, add some chopped nuts or seeds, such as almonds, walnuts, or sunflower seeds.
- For a more colorful coleslaw, add some shredded carrots, red cabbage, or bell peppers.
- Serve coleslaw chilled for the best flavor and texture.
Conclusion:
Light and creamy coleslaw is a refreshing and delicious side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you are looking for a healthy and delicious side dish, give this light and creamy coleslaw a try!
