Nani's Simple Creamy Coleslaw
This fresh and crunchy coleslaw is the perfect side dish for any backyard barbecue or family dinner.
recipesbynani.comThere is nothing quite like a cold, crunchy coleslaw to brighten up a plate of barbecue or a juicy sandwich. I love this recipe because it uses simple ingredients that you can find at any grocery store, and it comes together in just a few minutes of chopping.
My secret to the best slaw is letting it sit in the fridge for a little while before serving. This helps the cabbage soften just enough while keeping that lovely crisp texture we all enjoy. It is always a hit at potlucks and summer picnics.
🧺 Ingredients
- 1/2 head green cabbage, thinly sliced
- 2 medium carrots, peeled and grated
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon celery seeds
- Salt and black pepper to taste
👩🍳Instructions
- 1
Place your sliced cabbage and grated carrots in a large mixing bowl.
- 2
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, and celery seeds until smooth.
- 3
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture.
- 4
Toss everything together well until the vegetables are evenly coated.
- 5
Season with salt and pepper to your preference.
- 6
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least one hour before serving so the flavors can blend.
💡 Tips
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. If the dressing looks a bit thin after sitting, give it another quick toss before serving. You can also add a pinch of dried dill for an extra pop of flavor.
