Mandarin Orange Coleslaw
Description
Mandarin Orange Coleslaw is prepared by tossing a shredded cabbage mix with a smooth dressing of mayonnaise, granulated sugar, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper. After thoroughly blending the cabbage and dressing, mandarin orange segments are gently folded in to preserve their shape and juices. The salad is then refrigerated for at least one hour to allow the flavors to integrate, improving the overall taste and texture.
The result is a coleslaw where the crunchy cabbage contrasts pleasantly with the soft, sweet citrus pieces, with the tangy and slightly sweet dressing tying the components together. The vinegar adds a mild acidity that cuts through the creaminess, making it a refreshing complement to many main dishes.
This coleslaw is recommended to be prepared ahead of time for flavor development and is best consumed within three days due to natural water release from the cabbage. Serving it chilled helps maintain its crispness and balance of textures, making it an adaptable side for barbecues, picnics, or everyday meals.
Ingredients
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar white
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 16 oz. shredded cabbage mix
- 1 mandarin oranges 11 oz can, drained
Instructions
- Combine mayonnaise, sugar, vinegar, salt and pepper in a bowl.
- Place the shredded cabbage mix in mixing bowl with dressing. Toss with dressing until thoroughly blended.
- Gently fold in mandarin oranges.
- Place in refrigerator to marry flavors for at least one hour. Mix well before serving.
Notes
- Make the coleslaw at least one hour before serving, ideally 4–8 hours in advance, to allow flavors to develop properly.
- Coleslaw should be consumed within three days; after that, it tends to become watery due to water released from the cabbage.
