Equipment

  • Mixing bowl

Ingredients

  • 1 cup creamy mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon chipotle sauce
  • 2 generous tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon celery salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon celery seed
  • 1 small red onion finely grated
  • 2 carrots cut into matchsticks
  • 1/2 head green cabbage finely shredded
  • 1/2 head purple cabbage finely shredded
  • 3/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
  • 1/4 cup freshly chopped flat-leaf parsley or cilantro
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper
  • Potato chips lightly crushed (such as Lay’s)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Dressing

  • Begin by gathering a mixing bowl that can handle a little whisking action. In this bowl, combine your creamy mayonnaise, honey, apple cider vinegar, white wine vinegar, chipotle sauce, and Dijon mustard. The honey adds just the right amount of sweetness, while the apple cider and white wine vinegar offer a tangy balance. Whisk these ingredients together until you achieve a smooth mixture.

Step 2: Add Spices

  • Now that your base is ready, sprinkle in the celery salt and celery seed. These spices may seem small, but they bring a surprising amount of flavor, enhancing the overall taste of the coleslaw. Once added, mix again until fully incorporated.

Step 3: Incorporate the Vegetables

  • It’s time to bring in the veggies! Carefully fold in the finely grated red onion, matchstick carrots, shredded green cabbage, and purple cabbage. I recommend doing this gently to avoid bruising the vegetables. The crunch and color are simply enticing.

Step 4: Toss in the Blue Cheese

  • After the vegetables are well coated with the dressing, it’s time for the blue cheese. Gently fold the crumbled blue cheese into the mixture. The key here is to mix enough to distribute the blue cheese without smashing it all. That crumbliness adds to the texture!

Step 5: Season and Garnish

  • Finally, add salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste. Adjusting the seasonings right here is crucial. Don’t skip this step! Garnish with freshly chopped flat-leaf parsley or cilantro for a pop of color and brightness.

Step 6: Chill Time

  • You’ll want to let this sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows all the flavors to meld together beautifully. Trust me, the wait is worth it!

Notes

Here are some helpful tips I gathered from personal experience while making this coleslaw:
  • Choose Quality Blue Cheese: The type of blue cheese you use can significantly affect the flavor. Go for a crumbly, well-aged variety for the best impact.
  • Use Fresh Veggies: Freshness is key. Grab your veggies from the local market for a crisp taste.
  • Taste as You Go: Always sample your mixture as you prepare. This helps in adjusting flavors to your liking.
  • Customize the Spice Level: If you prefer a spicier kick, increase the chipotle sauce. Just a little extra heat can bring the dish to life.
  • Potato Chips on Top: Don’t forget the light sprinkle of crushed potato chips before serving. It adds a fun crunch and a hint of saltiness.
