Description

A creamy, tangy coleslaw that pairs perfectly with BBQ and summer meals, easy to make and endlessly adaptable.


Ingredients

  • 1 small head green cabbage, shredded (about 68 cups)
  • 1 small head purple cabbage, shredded (about 34 cups) — optional
  • 2 large carrots, grated
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper


Instructions

  1. Prepare the vegetables by removing the core from both cabbages, shredding them thinly, and adding to a large bowl with grated carrots.
  2. Make the dressing by whisking together mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
  3. Combine by pouring three-quarters of the dressing over the cabbage mixture and tossing until evenly coated.
  4. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more dressing if necessary.
  5. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 60 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  6. Serve by giving a final toss and adjusting dressing if needed before enjoying.
