Whether you're looking for a quick and easy side dish for a weeknight meal or a potluck-friendly dish to share at a gathering, this oil and vinegar slaw is sure to be a hit. With variations that include adding fruits, nuts, and even cooked meats, you can easily customize this dish to suit your preferences and dietary restrictions.

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.

OIL AND VINEGAR SLAW

Oil and Vinegar Slaw image

I pinched this recipe from Rachael Ray some time ago. It's a nice change from mayonnaise based slaws. I used fresh cabbage and carrot instead of the packaged slaw mix. If you don't like celery seeds, you could omit them and use celery salt in place of the salt.
