Classic Coleslaw Recipe (Chick-Fil-A copycat)
Classic Coleslaw combines finely shredded green cabbage and finely chopped carrots tossed in a creamy dressing made from mayonnaise, sugar, vinegar, and seasonings. After refrigeration, the flavors meld into a cool, crisp salad with a balance of tanginess and slight sweetness, often served as a side dish.
Ingredients
- 4 tsp white vinegar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp dry mustard ground
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 cup mayonnaise (I recommend Hellman's or Duke's)
- 20 oz green cabbage I usually get 2 (10 oz each) bags of preshredded cabbage and chop it, finely shredded, chopped to 1/4" pieces
- 1/4 cup carrot chopped to the same size as the cabbage, shredded and chopped
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, add vinegar, sugar, mustard, salt and pepper and whisk together until sugar has dissolved.
- Add mayo and whisk until combined.
- Add cabbage and carrots and toss to combine.
- Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours (more is better) and serve cold.
