AWESOME GERMAN COLESLAW

Make and share this Awesome German Coleslaw recipe from Food.com.

Provided by Boo Chef in West Te

Categories     German

Time 15m

Yield 8 cups, 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/3 cup distilled white vinegar
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon celery seed
salt
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 medium green cabbage, cored and finely sliced about 7 cups
1 small red cabbage, about1 1/2 c cored and finely sliced
1 small carrot, trimmed peeled and coarsely grated

Steps:

  • DRESSING: Put the vinegar, mustard, and celery seeds into a medium bowl and whisk to combine. Season with salt to taste. Add the sugar and whisk vigorously until dissolved. Pour the vegetable oil in a thin stream into the bowl while whisking constantly, until it is well combined with the other ingredients and a smooth dressing is formed. Season with salt to taste and set aside.
  • COLESLAW: Put the green and red cabbages and carrots into a large bowl. Add the dressing and toss well to combine. Store the coleslaw in the refrigerator until ready to use, up to 1 day. Serve chilled.

Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife or mandoline to thinly slice the cabbage and onion. This will help the coleslaw to be more tender and flavorful.
  • If you don't have a mandoline, you can use a food processor fitted with a slicing blade. Just be careful not to over-process the cabbage, or it will become mushy.
  • To make the coleslaw dressing, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper until smooth. You can also add other ingredients to the dressing, such as Dijon mustard, celery seeds, or caraway seeds.
  • Once the dressing is made, toss it with the cabbage and onion. Be sure to coat all of the vegetables evenly.
  • Cover the coleslaw and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
  • Serve the coleslaw chilled, as a side dish or on top of grilled meats or fish.

Conclusion:

Creamy German 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. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy side dish, give this creamy German coleslaw a try. You won't be disappointed!
