Description

A creamy, tangy Southern coleslaw that pairs perfectly with BBQ and fried foods.


Ingredients

  • 1 medium head green cabbage, shredded (about 68 cups packed)
  • 1 cup carrots, shredded (about 2 medium carrots)
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon celery seed
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste


Instructions

  1. Prepare vegetables: Remove tough outer leaves from the cabbage. Quarter, core, and finely shred with a sharp knife or food processor. Place in a large bowl.
  2. Make the dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, celery seed, and a pinch of salt and pepper until smooth.
  3. Combine: Pour the dressing over the shredded cabbage and carrots. Toss thoroughly to coat.
  4. Chill: Cover and refrigerate for at least 60 minutes.
  5. Taste before serving. Adjust seasoning if needed and serve chilled.

Notes

For crisper slaw, shred the cabbage just before serving. Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
