I use this on bagged broccoli slaw (2 lbs) and the ratio of slaw to dressing is perfect. I believe I got this from Martha Stewart's little food magazine a while back.

Time 5m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream
1 small onion, grated (optional)

Steps:

  • Whisk together mustard, vinegar, lemon juice, sugar, salt, mayonnaise, and sour cream in a small bowl.
  • Refrigerate dressing, covered, until ready to use, or up to 2 days.

Tips:

  • Use fresh and crunchy cabbage: The fresher the cabbage, the better the coleslaw will be. Look for heads of cabbage that are heavy and tightly packed, with bright green leaves.
  • Shred the cabbage thinly: This will help the dressing to evenly coat the cabbage and will make the coleslaw easier to eat.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: In addition to cabbage, you can also add other vegetables to your coleslaw, such as carrots, celery, and red onion. This will add flavor and texture to the dish.
  • Make sure the dressing is well-balanced: The dressing should be creamy, tangy, and sweet. Use a combination of mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, and spices to achieve the desired flavor.
  • Let the coleslaw chill before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and will make the coleslaw more refreshing.

Conclusion:

Classic creamy coleslaw is a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make the best coleslaw ever.
