Sweet Coleslaw Recipe
Description
This sweet coleslaw combines finely shredded green and purple cabbage with carrots for a crunchy base. The dressing is prepared by blending vinegar, sugar, salt, celery salt, paprika, black pepper, and cayenne to dissolve the sugar and combine spices evenly. Olive oil is slowly added as the blender runs, emulsifying the dressing and giving it a smooth texture.
The vegetables are tossed with the dressing and chilled for at least two hours, allowing the flavors to integrate and the cabbage to soften slightly while retaining crispness. This method produces a balanced coleslaw that is sweet, tangy, and mildly spiced.
This recipe pairs well with grilled meats, sandwiches, or as a refreshing side for picnics and barbecues. It stays well for up to three days refrigerated.
