SWEET AND SOUR COLESLAW RECIPE



Sweet And Sour Coleslaw Recipe image

Looking to step up your slaw game? Here is a sweet-sour cole slaw recipe that is sure to impress your guests. Plus, the recipe is super easy to make.

Provided by Dave Joachim

Categories     Dinner     Lunch     Salad     Side Dish     Vegetable

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoon white sugar
1 teaspoon mustard powder
1 teaspoon Morton Coarse Kosher Salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon whole celery seeds ((not celery salt))
2 tablespoons vegetable oil ((corn oil or salad oil mix are good choices))
¼ cup distilled white vinegar ((not cider vinegar))
1 pound green cabbage ((about half a medium cabbage))
1 large carrot, peeled
1 small white onion
½ bell pepper, any color

Steps:

  • Prep. For the dressing, whisk all of the ingredients together in a bowl. Don't skip the mustard. It's the secret ingredient that gives it life. And make sure all the lumps are whisked out.
  • Read my article on The Science of Slawsome Slaw. Decide how you want to cut the cabbage, carrots, pepper, and onions: Chopped, grated, or hashed and have at it. I like this recipe best when chopped or grated. Now that you've decided, do it. Add the cabbage, carrots, pepper, and onions to the bowl with the dressing.
  • Chill. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour if possible to extract the flavors from the celery seeds and the vegetables. They will give up some water, so don't worry if the mix seems a bit dry and strong at first. Mix it up occasionally so the dressing doesn't pool at the bottom. Taste the slaw and add more of the seasonings to your preference.
  • Serve. When you serve it, mix thoroughly and scoop from the bottom so the veggies have dressing on them.

Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife or mandoline to thinly slice the cabbage and carrots. This will help them absorb the dressing better and make the coleslaw more flavorful.
  • If you don't have a mandoline, you can use a food processor fitted with the shredding blade to shred the cabbage and carrots.
  • Be sure to drain the pineapple chunks well before adding them to the coleslaw. This will help prevent the coleslaw from becoming too watery.
  • Taste the dressing before adding it to the coleslaw. You may need to adjust the amount of sugar or vinegar depending on your personal preference.
  • Serve the coleslaw immediately, or chill it for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
