Vinegar Based Coleslaw Recipe

This Vinegar Based Coleslaw blends thinly sliced green and red cabbage with shredded carrots and green onions, all tossed in a tangy dressing made from apple cider vinegar, grainy mustard, honey, and olive oil. Celery seed adds a subtle earthy note, while seasoning with salt and fresh cracked black pepper balances the sharpness. The coleslaw is best served chilled, offering a crisp and refreshing texture with a bright, zesty flavor profile that complements rich or fried dishes.

Notes

  • For best texture, keep vegetables and dressing separate until just before serving.
  • Store undressed vegetables in the refrigerator for up to three days.
  • Thin slicing vegetables ensures a crisp but delicate bite, but can cause quicker wilting with dressing applied.
  • Honey or agave can be used interchangeably with sugar in the dressing.
  • Using pre-made slaw mix can save prep time and works well with this recipe.
