SERIOUSLY GOOD HOMEMADE COLESLAW
With a generous amount of acidity from apple cider vinegar and Dijon mustard, our coleslaw recipe is anything but dull. Instead, it is packed with fresh, lively flavors that wake up anything you serve with it. Unlike some of the more traditional or popular recipes for coleslaw, we skip the addition of sugar to our coleslaw dressing. Try this as a topping to sandwiches, served next to ultra-savory meats, like braised beef or pork. Or, mound some on top of your next hot dog or hamburger. Sugar: We find that the cabbage and carrots are sweet enough. If you disagree, add a teaspoon or two of sugar (or honey) to the dressing before mixing with the cabbage and carrot.

Steps:
- Quarter the cabbage through the core, and then cut out the core. Cut each quarter crosswise in half and finely shred. Place the shredded cabbage in a very large bowl (you will have 6 to 8 cups).
- Add the shredded carrot and parsley to the cabbage and toss to mix.
- In a separate bowl, stir the mayonnaise, vinegar, mustard, celery seeds, salt, and pepper together. Taste for acidity and seasoning, then adjust as desired. If the dressing tastes too tart and you prefer a sweeter coleslaw, stir in the optional sugar.
- Pour two-thirds of the dressing over the cabbage and carrot then mix well. (Clean hands are the quickest tool).
- If the coleslaw seems dry, add a little more of the dressing. Eat right away or let it sit in the refrigerator for about an hour to let the flavors mingle and the cabbage to soften.

LOWER-FAT COLESLAW
I've been trying to create a coleslaw dressing with the lowest possible fat intake. This is as low as I could go without taking away the flavor. It's a family favorite and we use it with all kinds of meals, in wraps, in sandwiches, with burgers, and as a side during BBQs.

Tips:
- Choose the right cabbage: Green cabbage is the most common type of cabbage used in coleslaw, but you can also use red cabbage or a mix of both. Red cabbage will give your coleslaw a beautiful purple hue.
- Shred the cabbage thinly: This will help the cabbage absorb the dressing better and make the coleslaw more tender.
- Use a sharp knife or mandoline to shred the cabbage: This will give you clean, even shreds.
- Add other vegetables: Feel free to add other vegetables to your coleslaw, such as carrots, celery, onion, or bell pepper. This will add more flavor and texture to the dish.
- Make the dressing ahead of time: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
- Taste the dressing before adding it to the cabbage: Make sure the dressing is to your liking. You can adjust the seasonings as needed.
- Toss the cabbage with the dressing: Make sure the cabbage is evenly coated with the dressing.
- Chill the coleslaw before serving: This will help the flavors to meld and develop even more.
