MOM'S COLESLAW

Categories     Salad     Leafy Green     Side     No-Cook     Picnic     Quick & Easy     Yogurt     Mayonnaise     Vinegar     Spring     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield Makes 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

6 cups medium-size red cabbage (organic, if possible), coarsely sliced
3 tablespoons white vinegar
Kosher salt
Use one of the following:
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon celery seeds
1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
1 tablespoon Jane's Krazy Mixed-Up Salt
3 tablespoons wine vinegar
2 tablespoons shaved carrot
4 tablespoons organic nonfat yogurt
3 tablespoons Hellmann's mayonnaise
2 tablespoons dill weed (organic, if possible), roughly chopped
Note: If you use a flavored salt or Old Bay seasoning, eliminate the kosher salt.
If you use wine vinegar, eliminate the white vinegar.
If you use carrot, eliminate the dill.

Steps:

  • Toss cabbage with 3 tablespoons white vinegar and a few generous pinches of kosher salt. Let stand a few minutes to allow the cabbage to begin to change chemically as it absorbs the ingredients. Add one of the special seasonings in the list. Toss again with 4 tablespoons yogurt. When the cabbage is fully coated, toss with 3 tablespoons mayonnaise. Stir in 2 tablespoons dill weed and serve.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, crisp cabbage. Avoid using cabbage that is wilted or brown.
  • Shred the cabbage thinly so that it will absorb the dressing evenly.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can shred the cabbage with a sharp knife or mandoline.
  • Use a light hand when adding the mayonnaise and sour cream. You can always add more, but it's hard to take it out.
  • Taste the dressing before adding it to the cabbage. Adjust the seasonings to your liking.
  • Let the slaw sit for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
  • Serve the slaw chilled or at room temperature.

Conclusion:

Momma's slaw is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be served with a variety of main courses. It's also a great make-ahead dish, so you can save time on busy weeknights. With its creamy, tangy dressing and fresh, crisp cabbage, Momma's slaw is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
