TANGY COLESLAW



Tangy Coleslaw image

Categories     Salad     Side     No-Cook     Summer     Cabbage     Bon Appétit

Yield Serves 12

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup Carolina Red Barbecue Sauce
1 2 1/2-pound green cabbage, quartered, cored, very thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Whisk 1 cup mayonnaise and 1/2 cup barbecue sauce in large bowl to blend. Mix in sliced cabbage. Season slaw to taste with salt and pepper. Refrigerate 3 to 8 hours, tossing occasionally.

Tips:

  • For a classic coleslaw, use green cabbage. For a more colorful slaw, add red cabbage or purple cabbage.
  • Shred the cabbage finely for a more delicate slaw, or coarsely for a heartier slaw.
  • Use a sharp knife or mandoline to shred the cabbage. This will help to prevent the cabbage from bruising.
  • Add other vegetables to your slaw, such as carrots, celery, or bell peppers.
  • For a creamy slaw, use mayonnaise or sour cream as the base of the dressing. For a lighter slaw, use vinegar or lemon juice.
  • Season the dressing with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste.
  • Let the slaw chill for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld.
  • Serve coleslaw as a side dish or as a topping for sandwiches, tacos, or burgers.

Conclusion:

Coleslaw is a versatile and delicious side dish that can be enjoyed all year round. With its tangy dressing and crunchy vegetables, coleslaw is a perfect complement to grilled meats, fried chicken, or fish. It's also a great way to add some extra vitamins and minerals to your diet. So next time you're looking for a healthy and refreshing side dish, give coleslaw a try!
