Creamy coleslaw is a crunchy, tangy side dish made with shredded cabbage, carrots, and a smooth, slightly sweet mayo-based dressing. It’s the perfect complement to barbecue, burgers, fried chicken, and more—and it’s ready in minutes!

Ingredients

  • 4 cups green cabbage, shredded
  • 1 cup carrots, shredded
  • ¾ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • ¼ tsp celery seed (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, Dijon mustard, celery seed (if using), salt, and pepper until smooth.
  2. In a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage and carrots.
  3. Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss until well coated.
  4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
  5. Give it a quick stir before serving chilled.

Notes

  • Use pre-shredded coleslaw mix for convenience.
  • Add red cabbage, green onions, or jalapeños for extra color and flavor.
  • Substitute half the mayo with Greek yogurt for a lighter version.
  • Adjust sugar and vinegar to make it sweeter or tangier.
  • Best served chilled; not meant for reheating.
