Chick-fil-A Cole Slaw
Description
The recipe starts by whisking together mayonnaise, white vinegar, granulated sugar, dry mustard powder, and kosher salt to create a smooth dressing. This dressing is then folded into shredded coleslaw mix, which typically includes cabbage and carrots. Thorough coating ensures even flavor distribution throughout the salad.
Chilling the prepared slaw for at least two hours or overnight in the refrigerator allows the cabbage to soften and absorb the tangy, slightly sweet dressing, enhancing the texture and taste. This resting time produces a coleslaw with a familiar creamy consistency suitable as a side dish.
This slaw is commonly paired with chicken dishes and sandwiches but can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. The recipe notes mention its compatibility with Hawaiian Kalua pork and options to adjust the recipe by substituting part of the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt for a lighter version or chopping the vegetables finer for texture preference.
Prepared dressing can be stored separately for several days to maintain freshness before mixing with cabbage. Making the slaw in advance improves the flavor but is best served fresh for optimal texture.
Ingredients
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 4 teaspoons white vinegar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ teaspoon mustard powder dry
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 bags cole slaw mix 14 ounce each, shredded
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mayo, vinegar, sugar, dry mustard, and salt until smooth.
- Add in shredded cole slaw mix and fold over with spatula until completely coated. Cover and refrigerate 2 hours, or overnight.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- The dressing can be made a few days ahead and stored separately before combining with the cabbage and carrots.
- Refrigerate the assembled coleslaw for at least two hours to soften the cabbage and blend the flavors well before serving.
- For a lighter version, substitute half of the mayonnaise with plain Greek yogurt.
- Chopping the cabbage and carrots into smaller pieces will create a finer texture, similar to some fast-food styles.
- This slaw pairs well with Hawaiian Kalua pork and other barbecued meats.
