Creamy Coleslaw Recipe

Creamy Coleslaw is made by mixing mayonnaise, sugar, and vinegar with a coleslaw mix of shredded cabbage and carrot. The result is a crisp, tangy salad with a smooth and sweet dressing. Optional celery seed adds a subtle, aromatic note. The salad is chilled before serving to allow flavors to meld and the cabbage to soften slightly while maintaining crunch.

  2. Add the coleslaw mix to the bowl and stir until it is evenly coated. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.

Notes

  • Make Coleslaw Mix yourself using shredded green cabbage and grated carrot if bagged mix is unavailable.
  • Adjust sugar and vinegar amounts to achieve desired sweetness or tang in the dressing.
  • Optional add-ins like chopped apple, green onion, dried cranberries, nuts, or seeds add variety to texture and flavor.
  • Store the coleslaw in the refrigerator for up to 2 days in an airtight container.
  • Due to mayonnaise in the dressing, this coleslaw is not recommended for freezing as it will separate.
  • For advance prep, keep coleslaw mix separate from dressing, combine at least one hour before serving, up to eight hours ahead.
