Equipment

  • cutting board
  • knife, bowl
  • serving glass

Ingredients

  • For Vegetables
  • 12 cups fresh cabbage finely chopped, Slice 1 inch long and ¼ inch wide
  • 4 cups shredded carrots
  • For Dressing
  • 2/3 cup granulated brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp. kosher salt
  • 2 tbsp. pepper
  • 2 tsp. pressed garlic
  • 3 cups mayonnaise
  • 6 tsp. cider vinegar
  • 2 tsp. celery seed
  • 4 tsp. grated onion

Instructions

  • Finely shred cabbage and carrots, using a food processor or knife.
  • In a large bowl, mix shredded veggies with salt, pepper, and celery seed.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together mayo, cider vinegar, brown sugar, and garlic.
  • Pour dressing over veggies, coat them well, and refrigerate for at least an hour.
  • Before serving, toss coleslaw again and adjust the seasoning to taste.
  • Optional Step: For creamier coleslaw, add sour cream to the dressing mixture.

Notes

  • To make the shredding process easier, cut the cabbage into wedges first. This will allow for a better grip while shredding.
  • For best results, let the coleslaw sit in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving. This allows time for the flavors to develop fully.
  • If you're not a fan of sharp onion flavor, you can substitute grated onion with 1-2 tablespoons of finely diced green onions.
  • For a more smoky and robust flavor, try using a hickory or mesquite-flavored BBQ sauce in the dressing mixture.
  • Don't limit yourself to just serving this coleslaw as a side dish. It also makes for a great topping on pulled pork sandwiches or burgers.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Just give it a quick toss before serving again.
