Easy Coleslaw Dressing
Description
The dressing is made by whisking together mayonnaise, white vinegar, apple cider vinegar, sugar, celery seed, salt, and black pepper. After mixing, it is tossed with shredded cabbage or other shredded vegetables like carrots or broccoli slaw. The mixture is then refrigerated for at least 30 minutes to let the acidity mellow and flavors meld, resulting in a balanced, creamy coleslaw dressing.
Its acidity and sweetness balance the cabbage’s natural crunch and earthiness. The celery seed adds subtle herbal notes. The recipe encourages customizing seasonings such as salt, pepper, or sugar and suggests honey or a pinch of paprika or Dijon mustard to vary the flavor profile.
If apple cider vinegar is unavailable, using all white vinegar is a simple substitution without major impact on flavor.
Ingredients
- ½ cup mayonnaise or dressing
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- ½ tablespoon apple cider vinegar (or white vinegar)
- 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon celery seed
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk mayonnaise, white vinegar, cider vinegar, sugar, celery seeds, salt, and pepper.
- Toss the dressing with 5 cups of shredded cabbage, grated carrots, broccoli slaw, or your choice of vegetables until well coated.
- Refrigerate at least 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
- If you lack apple cider vinegar, substitute with extra white vinegar.
- Allow the dressing to rest for at least 30 minutes to mellow acidity and blend flavors.
- Adjust seasonings like salt, pepper, and sugar to taste or swap sugar for honey for variations.
- Enhance flavor with additions like a pinch of paprika or Dijon mustard if desired.
