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.

TANGY COLESLAW
Steps:
- Whisk the vinegar, celery seeds, mustard, salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. While whisking constantly, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until well combined.
- Add the cabbage to the bowl along with the carrots and toss until well combined. Refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour.
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.
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:
- Choose the right cabbage: Use a firm, fresh head of green or red cabbage for the best texture and flavor.
- Shred the cabbage thinly: This will help the slaw absorb the dressing and make it easier to eat.
- Rinse the cabbage after shredding: This will remove any excess starch and help prevent the slaw from getting too watery.
- Use a light, tangy dressing: A simple vinaigrette or mayonnaise-based dressing is best. Avoid using heavy or creamy dressings, which can weigh down the slaw.
- Add some sweetness: A little bit of sugar or honey can help balance out the acidity of the dressing.
- Add some crunch: Chopped celery, carrots, or red onion can add some extra texture and flavor to the slaw.
- Chill the slaw before serving: This will help the flavors meld together and make the slaw more refreshing.
Conclusion:
Light and tangy coleslaw is a refreshing and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a healthy and delicious side dish, give this light and tangy coleslaw a try.
