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.

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

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

My grandmother taught me how to make the dressing for this coleslaw when I was very young. It's not too tart and not too sweet. Sometimes I make 8 gallon jars a week at the restaurant where I work! It gets lots of compliments on my sweet coleslaw recipe. -Denise Elder, Hanover, Ontario

SWEET, CREAMY COLESLAW



Sweet, Creamy Coleslaw image

I never liked coleslaw until I tried my husband's great aunt's. Now I can't get enough of it! Great with BBQ pork sandwiches. You can also use a bag of slaw mix instead of shredding the cabbage and carrots yourself.

Provided by Marg CaymanDesigns

Categories     Vegetable

Time 15m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 head green cabbage
2 -4 carrots
1 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar

Steps:

  • Shred cabbage and carrots into a bowl.
  • Mix mayonnaise, vinegar and sugar in a separate bowl; blending well.
  • Pour over shredded vegetables and stir to coat.
  • Chill.
  • Amounts of dressing ingredients can be adjusted to suit taste but always use the same amount of vinegar as sugar.

Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife or mandoline to thinly slice the cabbage and onion. This will help the coleslaw to be more crisp and flavorful.
  • Soak the cabbage in cold water for at least 30 minutes before assembling the coleslaw. This will help to remove some of the bitterness from the cabbage.
  • Use a combination of mayonnaise and sour cream for the dressing. This will help to create a creamy and flavorful dressing that is not too heavy.
  • Add some shredded carrots, celery, or bell pepper to the coleslaw for extra flavor and crunch.
  • Serve the coleslaw chilled for the best flavor.
