Classic Homemade Coleslaw: Crisp & Creamy in Minutes
Description
This coleslaw recipe combines the crunch of shredded cabbage, chopped celery, and onion with a creamy dressing consisting of mayonnaise, white vinegar, half and half or heavy cream, sugar, salt, and black pepper. The dressing is stirred together until smooth, then poured over the vegetables and mixed to combine. Refrigerating the slaw for at least one hour allows the flavors to meld and the vegetables to soften slightly while staying crisp.
The texture is fresh and crunchy, offset by the creamy and tangy dressing, making it a versatile side dish. The balance of sugar and vinegar offers a sweet and sour profile that complements many entrees like barbecue or sandwiches.
This coleslaw is best served chilled and can be prepared ahead for convenience.
