Description

This Best Coleslaw Recipe is a classic side dish that is creamy, tangy, and perfect for picnics or barbecues. With a simple dressing and a mix of fresh cabbage and carrots, it’s a refreshing addition to any meal.


Ingredients

For the Coleslaw:

  • 6 cups shredded green cabbage
  • 1 cup shredded purple cabbage
  • 1 cup shredded carrots

For the Dressing:

  • ¾ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon honey or sugar
  • ½ teaspoon celery seed (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Coleslaw: In a large bowl, combine the green cabbage, purple cabbage, and carrots.
  2. Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, celery seed, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  3. Combine and Chill: Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss until well coated. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld. Stir again before serving.

Notes

  • Adjust sweetness and tanginess to taste by adding more honey or vinegar.
  • For a lighter version, substitute part of the mayo with plain Greek yogurt.
