Southern Coleslaw Recipe
Description
This Southern Coleslaw Recipe uses shredded cabbage, carrot, and green onions as its base vegetables. The dressing combines mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, buttermilk, Dijon mustard, celery seed, and dried dill to create a creamy, tangy flavor profile. After mixing the vegetables, the dressing is blended in, and the slaw is refrigerated for an hour to allow flavors to meld and the texture to soften slightly while retaining crispness.
The finished coleslaw is suitable as a side for rich, smoky dishes or as a topping for sandwiches and burgers. Its mild sweetness and acidity help balance plate flavors. Using premade coleslaw mix or finely chopping cabbage is acceptable for convenience without greatly affecting texture.
Keep the coleslaw refrigerated until serving to maintain freshness. The flavor develops best after resting refrigerated for about an hour. Celery seed or celery salt enhances the classic flavor, and chopping cabbage extra fine can add silkiness to the texture if desired.
