Tony Roma’s Sweet & Tangy Coleslaw Recipe

Tony Roma’s Sweet & Tangy Coleslaw combines shredded cabbage and carrot with a creamy dressing made from mayonnaise, lemon juice, parsley, and vinegar, balanced by sugar and subtle seasonings like celery seed and white pepper. The coleslaw achieves a refreshing texture with a crisp bite from the cabbage and a sweet yet tart flavor profile. Preparing the dressing in advance and allowing it to meld with the vegetables enhances the taste, making it suitable as a side dish or accompaniment for grilled meats and sandwiches.

Ingredients

  • 3/4 teaspoon parsley , minced
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice fresh
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion , minced
  • 1/8 teaspoon celery seed
  • 1/8 teaspoon white pepper
  • 1/2 cups mayonnaise
  • 3/4 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/2 head cabbage , cored and shredded (about 10 oz)
  • 1/2 carrot shredded, large

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Combine all dressing ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Blend with a wire whisk.
  3. Refrigerate for as long as you can, but remember the slaw will have to be dressed for at least a couple of hours before serving. It is best to make the dressing the night before.
  4. Combine the dressing with the cabbage and carrots.
  5. Mix thoroughly.
  6. Refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving.
  7. Mix together again just before serving.

Notes

  • For optimal flavor, prepare the dressing the night before to allow seasoning to develop fully.
  • Refrigerate the dressed coleslaw for at least two hours before serving to ensure the cabbage absorbs the dressing well.
  • Stir the coleslaw again just before serving to redistribute the dressing evenly.
