THE BEST VINEGAR COLESLAW



The Best Vinegar Coleslaw image

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.

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h20m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup distilled white vinegar
1 tablespoon kosher salt, plus more if needed
2 teaspoons sugar
3/4 teaspoon celery salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more if needed
1 clove garlic, finely grated
1/2 head green cabbage, cored and very thinly sliced
1/2 head red cabbage, cored and very thinly sliced
4 large carrots, peeled and shredded on the large holes of a box grater
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

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.

Provided by Paprika Girl

Categories     Vegetable

Time 20m

Yield 8 cups, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 head green cabbage, shredded
1 white onion, thinly sliced
1 bunch parsley, minced
2 tablespoons tahini

Tips for Making the Best Cabbage Coleslaw:

- **Choose the right cabbage:** Use a firm, fresh head of cabbage for the best results. Green cabbage is the most common type used in coleslaw, but you can also use red cabbage for a colorful twist. - **Shred the cabbage thinly:** This will help the coleslaw absorb the dressing better and make it easier to eat. You can use a food processor fitted with a shredding blade or a sharp knife to shred the cabbage. - **Use a creamy dressing:** A creamy dressing is essential for a classic coleslaw. You can use mayonnaise, sour cream, or Greek yogurt as the base of your dressing. Add some vinegar, sugar, and salt and pepper to taste. - **Add some crunch:** Add some crunchy vegetables to your coleslaw for extra texture and flavor. Some good options include carrots, celery, bell peppers, and radishes. - **Chill the coleslaw before serving:** Coleslaw is best served cold, so make sure to chill it in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving.

Conclusion:

Cabbage coleslaw is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish, salad, or sandwich topping. With its simple ingredients and easy preparation, it's a great option for busy weeknights or potlucks. Experiment with different variations of the recipe to find your perfect coleslaw.
