Coleslaw Recipe
Description
The salad begins with a pre-packaged coleslaw mix that combines shredded cabbage and carrots for crunch and color. The dressing is prepared by whisking mayonnaise, buttermilk, vinegar, sugar, and salt until the sugar dissolves and the mixture becomes smooth. This dressing coats the cabbage evenly upon mixing, producing a creamy and slightly tangy coleslaw.
The coleslaw retains a crisp bite from the raw cabbage while the creamy dressing adds a mellow richness and a subtle sweetness balanced by a touch of vinegar. Serving immediately keeps the vegetables crisp, but chilling allows flavors to meld.
Coleslaw is often served as a side dish with grilled foods, sandwiches, or barbecue. It contributes a fresh, crunchy contrast on the plate.
The dressing can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator up to three days. Once dressed, the salad should be consumed within a day for best texture.
Ingredients
- 1 (14-ounce) package coleslaw mix
- 1/2 /2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 /4 cup buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar distilled
- 1 tablespoon sugar or honey
- pinch kosher salt
Instructions
- Place coleslaw mix into a large mixing bowl.
- Add mayonnaise, buttermilk, vinegar, sugar, and salt to a large bowl and whisk together with a fork until well-combined and smooth. Stir until sugar is completely dissolved. Pour the dressing over cabbage and toss together to mix thoroughly.
- Serve immediately or cover and chill in refrigerator before serving.
Notes
- Prepare dressing up to 3 days ahead and refrigerate in an airtight container.
- Toss coleslaw mix with dressing just before serving to maintain crispness.
- For a vegan option, substitute vegan mayonnaise and plant-based milk for buttermilk.
- Once mixed, eat within one day to keep desired texture and flavor.
