- 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
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.
- 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.
