- Whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until combined well, then toss with cabbage and carrots. Let stand, uncovered, at room temperature, tossing occasionally, until wilted, about 30 minutes. Serve at room temperature or chilled. Do Ahead: Coleslaw can be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, crisp vegetables and flavorful dressing are essential for a delicious coleslaw. Look for crisp cabbage, carrots, and celery, and use a dressing made with mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, and spices.
- Shred your vegetables finely: Thinly shredded vegetables will absorb the dressing better and make the coleslaw more enjoyable to eat.
- Don't overdress the coleslaw: A little dressing goes a long way. Too much dressing will make the coleslaw soggy and bland.
- Let the coleslaw chill before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the vegetables to soften slightly.
- Experiment with different ingredients: There are endless possibilities when it comes to making coleslaw. Try adding different vegetables, fruits, nuts, or seeds. You can also experiment with different dressings.

Coleslaw is a versatile and delicious side dish that can be enjoyed at any time of year. With so many different recipes to choose from, there's sure to be a coleslaw that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy side dish, give coleslaw a try. You won't be disappointed!
