Sweet Onion Vinegar Coleslaw Dressing
Description
Sweet Onion Vinegar Coleslaw Dressing combines sugar and white vinegar heated just enough to dissolve the sugar, then mixed with oil, celery seed, and grated sweet onion. The dressing is cooled and refrigerated until ready to use, allowing the flavors to meld and the dressing to separate naturally. Before serving, it's shaken vigorously to emulsify and then drizzled over shredded cabbage, which softens slightly as it chills in the fridge. The grated onion adds a mild sharpness and texture to the dressing, contributing to its distinctive flavor. This dressing makes enough for at least two standard-sized bags of coleslaw mix and keeps well, making it suitable for preparing in advance.
Ingredients
- 1 c. sugar
- ½ c. white vinegar
- 1 c. vegetable oil
- 1 tsp. celery seed whole
- ¼ to ⅓ c. sweet white onion to taste, or yellow onion, grated
- salt to taste, Kosher salt and freshly ground
- black pepper to taste, Kosher salt and freshly ground
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, stir sugar and vinegar until sugar dissolves.
- Remove saucepan from heat and add remaining ingredients, stirring to combine. Let cool.
- 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.
- 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
- Grate the onion using the large holes of a box grater and adjust the amount according to how strong you want the onion flavor.
- Make the dressing at least a few hours ahead or up to a couple of days in advance; store in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator.
- The dressing separates naturally when refrigerated; shake well before using.
- The recipe yields enough dressing for about two 16-ounce bags of pre-shredded coleslaw mix.
