Coleslaw that Keeps
Description
This Coleslaw that Keeps features shredded cabbage combined with chopped bell pepper and onion for a crunchy base. The dressing consists of white vinegar, sugar, salt, salad oil, dry mustard powder, and celery seed, which are heated together to dissolve the ingredients and create a smooth, tangy dressing.
The cooked dressing is cooled to room temperature before being tossed with the vegetables, which helps soften the cabbage slightly while maintaining crispness. The slaw is then refrigerated for at least six hours, allowing the flavors to meld and develop. Its preparation style allows it to stay fresh and crunchy for weeks without spoilage, making it a practical make-ahead side dish.
This coleslaw serves as a zesty accompaniment to grilled meats or sandwiches and works well for picnics and gatherings where it can be prepared in advance and stored safely.
