Creamy Coleslaw
Description
This Creamy Coleslaw recipe starts by tossing shredded cabbage and carrots with salt and allowing them to sit for at least an hour to draw excess moisture. After rinsing and thoroughly drying the vegetables, the dressing is prepared by mixing mayonnaise, sour cream, yellow mustard, apple cider vinegar, sugar, celery seed, onion powder, salt, and pepper. The dressing is combined with the drained vegetables and refrigerated for at least two hours to let flavors meld and the coleslaw chill.
The resulting coleslaw has a crisp texture balanced by a creamy and tangy dressing with a touch of sweetness and subtle spices. This preparation works well as a side dish complementing grilled meats, sandwiches, or picnic meals.
