CREAMY COLESLAW DRESSING



Creamy Coleslaw Dressing image

Coleslaw is one of my all-time favorite foods if it has a nice, creamy dressing. After doing some research, making dozens of different dressings, and trying to find the flavor that I like, I came up with this dressing for coleslaw that became a hit. I'm always asked for this recipe. What surprised me was at a potluck when a culinary chef asked me for my recipe. He told me that it was one of the best he had ever tasted since he had left the southern part of the USA.

This tangle of cabbage and carrot is dressed with a balance of tangy mustard, mayonnaise, and creamy sour cream to create the standard slaw.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Salad Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream
1 small green cabbage, (about 1 3/4 pounds), finely shredded
2 medium carrots, cut into 1/8-inch-thick matchsticks or coarsely grated

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:

  • For a more flavorful coleslaw, use a variety of cabbages, such as green cabbage, red cabbage, and Savoy cabbage.
  • Shred the cabbage thinly so that it absorbs the dressing more easily.
  • Use a sharp knife or a food processor to shred the cabbage.
  • Add other vegetables to the coleslaw, such as carrots, celery, or bell peppers.
  • For a creamy coleslaw, use a mayonnaise-based dressing.
  • For a lighter coleslaw, use a vinegar-based dressing.
  • Add some sweetness to the dressing with sugar or honey.
  • Season the dressing with salt and pepper to taste.
