- 4 Petite Crunchy Carrots
- 1 Cup of Luxuriously Creamy Mayonnaise
- 2 Pounds of Crisp and Vibrant Cabbage
- 6 Teaspoons of Pure White Cane Sugar
- 6 Teaspoons of Finely Ground Black Pepper
- 2 Pieces of Zesty Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice
- ½ Cup of Finely Chopped Aromatic Cilantro
In a mixing bowl, combine the luxuriously creamy mayonnaise, pure white cane sugar, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and finely ground black pepper. Whisk the ingredients together until the sugar is dissolved, and the dressing is smooth and well combined.
Peel and grate the petite, crunchy carrots. You can use a box grater or a food processor for this.
Finely shred the crisp and vibrant cabbage. Ensure it's thinly sliced for a good coleslaw texture.
Finely chop the aromatic cilantro.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded carrots, shredded cabbage, and finely chopped cilantro.
Pour the prepared dressing over the vegetables in the bowl.
Gently toss the coleslaw ingredients until the dressing evenly coats the vegetables.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the coleslaw for at least 1-2 hours before serving. This allows the flavors to meld, and the coleslaw becomes chilled and refreshing.
Once chilled, give the coleslaw a final toss before serving.
Optionally, garnish with additional cilantro for a fresh touch.
Serve the Bojangles-inspired coleslaw as a side dish at your next gathering or alongside your favorite main course.
- Chopping the vegetables into very small pieces will help ensure that the coleslaw is evenly coated in the dressing.

- To make the coleslaw a bit sweeter, add an extra tablespoon of sugar to the dressing.
- To make the coleslaw creamier, add an extra tablespoon of mayonnaise to the dressing.
