How To Make the Best Coleslaw This coleslaw recipe is packed with fresh, lively flavors that wake up anything you serve it with. Try this as a topping to sandwiches, served next to ultra-savory meats, like braised beef or pulled pork. Or mound some on top of your next hot dog or hamburger.

How to Cut Cabbage for Coleslaw Whatever type of cabbage you choose, the way to prepare them are generally the same. Remove any tattered or bruised outer leaves.
Cut the cabbage into quarters, and then cut out the core. Slice the cabbage quarters into thin shreds. Replace the cabbage and carrot called for in our recipe with your favorite store-bought bag. My Favorite Coleslaw Dressing Our favorite coleslaw dressing is quick to make and calls for simple ingredients.
Mayonnaise is the base and makes the dressing creamy. When we have a batch in our fridge, we love to use homemade mayonnaise. Apple cider vinegar adds a fresh and zesty note to the dressing. You can substitute other kinds of vinegar like red wine vinegar or champagne vinegar. Dijon mustard adds extra flavor and a bit of spice. Their flavor is mild, so if you aren’t a celery fan, I’d still recommend using at least some of the celery seeds called for in the recipe. Salt and pepper are a must and bring the flavors in the dressing together.
Some coleslaw recipes call for sugar. For our tastes, the cabbage and carrots are sweet enough. If you disagree, add a teaspoon or two of sugar to the dressing before mixing with the cabbage and carrot. Adding the Dressing When you are ready to mix up your coleslaw, don’t just dump in the whole bowl of dressing. Instead, start with about two-thirds, give everything a stir and then see just how much more dressing you feel your coleslaw needs. If you decide it’s perfect the way it is, don’t throw away that leftover coleslaw dressing! Use it as a spread for sandwiches, a dip for vegetables or sauce for meats and roasted or grilled vegetables.
As for the dressing, mix it up and store covered in the refrigerator for weeks. Combine the cabbage, carrots and dressing the night before or day of serving — we like the crunch of the vegetables to still be present. The longer the cabbage sits in the coleslaw dressing, the softer and less crunchy it will become.
