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.

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h25m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 small head green cabbage
1/2 small head red cabbage
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup white wine vinegar, such as Chardonnay
1 to 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 teaspoons celery seeds
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup matchstick carrots
1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves

Steps:

  • Remove and discard tough outer leaves from the green cabbage. Cut the head in half, cutting through the core. Use the tip of the knife to remove the core from both halves, then cut each half into quarters. Slice each quarter thinly into short strips. Repeat with the red cabbage and place both in a large bowl.
  • Whisk together the mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar and celery seeds in a small bowl, then season with salt and pepper. Add more sugar as desired. Toss the cabbage with half the dressing, then lay in a shallow dish (a 9-by-13-inch baking dish works well). Cover and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.
  • Once cabbage has marinated in the dressing, taste and add reserved dressing as desired. Add the carrots and parsley and toss to combine.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: Fresh vegetables, creamy mayonnaise, and tangy vinegar are the key to a great coleslaw. Make sure to use the best ingredients you can find.
  • Shred the cabbage and carrots finely: This will help the coleslaw absorb the dressing better and make it easier to eat. You can use a food processor or a sharp knife to shred the vegetables.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. You can make the dressing up to a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator.
  • Don't overdress the coleslaw: A little bit of dressing goes a long way. You can always add more dressing if needed, but it's hard to take it out once it's been added.
  • Let the coleslaw chill before serving: This will help the flavors to meld and the coleslaw to become more refreshing. You can chill the coleslaw for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
