Best Coleslaw
Description
This coleslaw recipe blends a pre-packaged coleslaw mix or a homemade mix of cabbage and carrots with a creamy dressing made from mayonnaise, sour cream, white vinegar, Dijon mustard, sugar, celery salt, onion powder, and black pepper. The dressing is whisked smooth, then tossed with the crunchy vegetables.
The salad achieves a crisp texture from the cabbage and carrot, paired with the rich, tangy dressing that mellows after refrigeration. The flavors meld best after a few hours but it can be served immediately if necessary.
Coleslaw works well as a side dish to grilled meats, sandwiches, or as a picnic staple. It provides refreshing crunch and creaminess to balance heavier main dishes.
The notes clarify that coleslaw mix weight can vary and you can use fresh shredded vegetables instead of store-bought. The salad should be stored tightly covered, and flavor may shift as juices release over a few days.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 2.5 tablespoons white vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 3 teaspoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon celery salt
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- black pepper to taste
- 14-16 ounces coleslaw mix see note
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients except for the coleslaw mix to a medium bowl, and combine until smooth. Taste and adjust if needed.
- Add the coleslaw mix to a large bowl. Pour the dressing over and toss. Depending how creamy you want the salad, you may have a little dressing left over.
- I recommend letting the flavors meld for a few hours in the fridge prior to serving, but you could serve right away if needed.
Notes
- Coleslaw mix weight may vary; if using fresh, prepare about 8 cups shredded cabbage and carrots.
- For best texture, make the coleslaw a few hours before serving to let flavors meld.
