TARRAGON COLESLAW

This is my favorite cole slaw recipe. It's not as saucy as many others, and I personally like the cabbage flavor that comes through. But if you like your cole slaw wetter, then just add more mayonnaise and the other dressing ingredients in relative amounts. This recipe does need time for the flavors to blend. It can be eaten immeditely, but it's just not as good.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 15m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

7 cups thinly shredded green cabbage
1 cup grated carrot
2/3 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons white vinegar
1 teaspoon dried tarragon
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley or 2 teaspoons dried parsley
2 teaspoons celery seeds
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Place the cabbage and carrots in a large bowl.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, vinegar, tarragon, the sugar, the parsley, the celery seed, and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Pour the mayonnaise mixture over the cabbage and carrots and blend well.
  • Cover the bowl tightly (you can use plastic wrap) and let sit at least 6 to 8 hours or overnight in the refrigerator for the slaw to soften and the flavors to blend.

Tips

  • Use fresh, crispy cabbage for the best coleslaw. Red cabbage, white cabbage, or a mix of both can be used.
  • Shred the cabbage thinly for a delicate texture. A food processor fitted with a shredding disc can be used to make this task easier.
  • Soak the cabbage in cold water for 30 minutes before assembling the coleslaw. This will help to crisp up the cabbage and remove any bitterness.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your coleslaw for added flavor and texture. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, and bell peppers.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time to allow the flavors to meld. The dressing can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Serve the coleslaw chilled for the best flavor. Coleslaw can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion

Tarragon coleslaw is a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy side dish, give tarragon coleslaw a try!
