Ingredients
Instructions
- Shred the cabbage and place it in a wide mouth jar or glass dish.
- Add chopped onions, sugar, and grated carrots if desired.
- In a separate bowl, combine white vinegar, oil, dry mustard, celery seed, and salt to make the dressing.
- Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture.
- Mix well to combine and refrigerate for at least a few hours before serving to allow flavors to meld.
Tips & Substitutions
For a tangier flavor, consider adding more vinegar to your dressing. If you're short on time, pre-shredded cabbage can be a convenient substitute. For a unique twist, try incorporating ingredients like diced bell peppers or apples. This cole slaw can also be made sugarless by substituting with a sugar alternative for a healthier option.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this cole slaw as a refreshing side dish alongside grilled meats or sandwiches. It pairs beautifully with BBQ dishes and can be a great topping for tacos. For a complete meal, consider serving it with a protein such as grilled chicken or fish. This dish is perfect for potlucks and summer picnics.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The flavors will continue to develop as it sits. Avoid reheating, as cole slaw is best served cold. If the slaw becomes too watery, simply drain excess liquid before serving.
