Coleslaw, a classic side dish made from shredded cabbage and tossed in a creamy or vinegar-based dressing, can be elevated to a new level of flavor and richness with the addition of a cooked dressing. This variation on the traditional recipe results in a warm, tangy, and velvety coleslaw that is sure to impress your taste buds. Whether you prefer a classic mayonnaise-based dressing or a tangy vinaigrette, there are endless possibilities for creating a cooked dressing that perfectly complements the crisp cabbage and other vegetables in your coleslaw.
Let's cook with our recipes!
THE BEST VINEGAR COLESLAW
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.

Saw this on the net a while ago and have made it many times. At first I only used it as a dressing and last week I discovered that it is also very nice as a basting sauce for chicken. The recipe doubles easily and stores well in the fridge.

COLESLAW WITH COOKED DRESSING
This is a great oil & vinegar coleslaw dish that you can make with the whole head of cabbage. The longer it sits, the better it gets! A great way to always have coleslaw on hand in the fridge, I have been making this recipe for 20+ years, with great results. I found it in our local newspaper's Christmas recipe insert, & have been making it ever since :) Enjoy!

COLESLAW WITH MISO DRESSING
Red cabbage is especially pretty in this dish, but green cabbage, napa or savoy would work just as well, so use whatever you like. This recipe makes a generous amount of dressing so that you can dress the slaw to your liking. Start by tossing the cabbage with half the miso mixture, then add more until it's dressed to your idea of perfection. Whatever you don't use can be tossed with other salad greens, drizzled over rice, or used as a dip for crunchy cucumbers, snap peas or carrots.

Tips:
- Choose the right cabbage: Green cabbage is the most common type used for coleslaw, but you can also use red cabbage or a mix of both. For a sweeter coleslaw, use a milder variety of cabbage, such as Savoy or Napa cabbage.
- Shred the cabbage finely: This will help the dressing to coat the cabbage evenly and make the coleslaw easier to eat.
- Use a sharp knife or mandoline to shred the cabbage: This will give you clean, even shreds and prevent the cabbage from bruising.
- Add some other vegetables to your coleslaw: Shredded carrots, celery, and onion are all popular additions. You can also add fruits like apples or pineapple.
- Make the dressing ahead of time: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. You can store the dressing in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Taste the dressing before adding it to the coleslaw: You may need to adjust the seasonings to your liking.
- Toss the coleslaw gently: This will prevent the cabbage from getting bruised.
- Serve the coleslaw chilled: This will help the flavors to shine through.
Conclusion:
Coleslaw is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed all year round. With so many different variations, there's sure to be a coleslaw recipe that everyone will love. Next time you're looking for a quick and easy side dish, give coleslaw a try. You won't be disappointed!
