Ingredients
Instructions
- Bring vegetable oil, sugar, dry mustard, celery seed, salt, pepper, and cider vinegar to a boil.

- Let stand at room temperature for 30 to 60 minutes.
- Cover and refrigerate before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For a vibrant twist, consider adding shredded carrots or radishes for extra crunch. If you're looking to cut down on sugar, you can reduce the amount or use a sugar substitute. To enhance the flavor, a splash of hot sauce can add a spicy kick. This slaw can be made a day ahead to allow flavors to meld beautifully, making it a great addition to any picnic or barbecue.
Serving Suggestions
Endless Slaw pairs beautifully with grilled meats, making it an excellent side for summer barbecues. Consider serving it alongside dishes like Art'S Barbecue Sauce for a delightful contrast. It can also be used as a topping for sandwiches or tacos, adding a refreshing crunch. For a complete meal, serve it with any of your favorite American recipes or a hearty bean salad.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. The slaw may become more flavorful as it sits, but it will also soften. If you prefer a crunchier texture, enjoy it within the first couple of days. Avoid reheating, as this dish is best served cold or at room temperature.
