THE BEST VINEGAR COLESLAW



The Best Vinegar Coleslaw image

We love the zippiness that a vinegar-based dressing brings to this coleslaw, making it the perfect partner for rich, meaty dishes like pulled pork or ribs. Cabbage can take lots of seasoning and lots of vinegar, so don't be bashful. But the real secret to this colorful coleslaw is the marinating time - a long trip to the fridge softens up the veggies and gives them time to absorb the flavors of the vinaigrette. A drizzle of olive oil at the end balances the acidity.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h20m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup distilled white vinegar
1 tablespoon kosher salt, plus more if needed
2 teaspoons sugar
3/4 teaspoon celery salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more if needed
1 clove garlic, finely grated
1/2 head green cabbage, cored and very thinly sliced
1/2 head red cabbage, cored and very thinly sliced
4 large carrots, peeled and shredded on the large holes of a box grater
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Whisk together the vinegar, salt, sugar, celery salt, pepper and garlic in a large bowl until combined. Reserve 1/4 cup of the dressing for serving. Toss the green cabbage, red cabbage and carrots in the remaining dressing until the vegetables are completely coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 3.
  • Strain the coleslaw through a colander and discard the liquid. Transfer the coleslaw to a serving bowl. Drizzle with the reserved dressing and the oil. Season with salt and pepper if necessary. Toss to coat.

KITTENCAL'S FAMOUS COLESLAW



Kittencal's Famous Coleslaw image

This is the most delicious coleslaw that you will ever have! I make this for weddings, large socials and in the summer for BBQ's and parties, and there is never anything left it all goes and everyone wants the recipe --- plan ahead the coleslaw needs to be refrigerated for the stated time to blend the flavors, this coleslaw will intensify in flavor with chilling time --- this is not a thick heavy dressing like some other coleslaw recipes it's the perfect texture and flavor and what makes this coleslaw stand out from all others is the fresh lemon juice so please use only fresh I have used bottled in the past and it is just not the same --- the dressing amount will yield enough for two 16-ounce packages prepared coleslaw mix or 1 head of green cabbage --- for one 16-ounce package prepared coleslaw mix use the dressing amounts posted on bottom of recipe and add in 3 or more large of chopped green onions.

Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife or mandoline to thinly slice the cabbage. This will help ensure that the coleslaw is evenly coated with dressing and that the flavors meld together well.
  • Shred the carrots and celery by hand. This will give the coleslaw a more rustic and homemade look and feel.
  • Use a light touch when mixing the coleslaw. Over-mixing can make the cabbage wilt and lose its crunch.
  • Taste the coleslaw before adding additional dressing. You may find that you don't need as much as you thought.
  • Let the coleslaw chill for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the cabbage to soften slightly.
  • Serve the coleslaw with a variety of toppings, such as bacon, cheese, croutons, or nuts. This will add extra flavor and texture to the dish.
