Sweet Onion Vinegar Coleslaw Dressing

This simple homemade dressing is from my mom's recipe box. It's sweet and oniony, and bright and tangy with vinegar. With a sprinkling of celery seeds, this simple dish packs in tons of flavor!

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, stir sugar and vinegar until sugar dissolves.
  2. Remove saucepan from heat and add remaining ingredients, stirring to combine. Let cool.
  3. Transfer to a 1-quart jar with a lid, or use a similarly sized container. The dressing will appear layered and separated, which is fine. Refrigerate to cool completely.
  4. To make the coleslaw salad: About 30 minutes prior to meal time, add the shredded cabbage to a large bowl. Give the jar of dressing a vigorous shake to incorporate, until the dressing has a cloudy appearance. Then drizzle dressing over the cabbage. Place the prepared salad in the refrigerator to chill until you’re ready to eat. Then fold the salad a few times to incorporate, before placing it on the table. So easy!

Notes

  • For the grated onion: Use the large holes on a box grater to grate the onion. Depending on the strength of the onion, add more or less, to taste.
  • Make-ahead: Make this dressing at least a few hours, and up to a few days, prior to serving. Just store it in the refrigerator, in a container with a tight fitting lid. This dressing has an excellent refrigerator shelf life, will easily stay good for up to 2 weeks!
  • This recipe makes enough dressing for at least two 16-oz. bags of pre-shredded coleslaw mix.
