THE BEST CREAMY COLESLAW (GOURMET MAG)
Let me first say that as a general rule, I don't like coleslaw. However, this coleslaw is AMAZING and is a far cry from the limp, sugary, slop that is on most menus. It pairs perfectly on top of a pulled pork sandwich or as a side dish with any other BBQ or picnic fare. It has just the right balance of sweet and tart. The recipe is from the June 2008 issue of Gourmet Magazine and is by far the greatest and freshest out there. Note: I can only guarantee results by chopping up your own cabbage as the recipe calls for... I haven't used one of those pre-shredded coleslaw mixes and don't know how it will turn out if you decide to take that shortcut. *Cook time is "refrigeration" time.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, whisk together dressing ingredients.
- Shred apple coarse and add to dressing with cabbage and carrots. Toss cole slaw well.
Tips:
- Choose the right cabbage: Green cabbage is the most common choice, but you can also use red cabbage or a mix of both. For a sweeter slaw, use savoy cabbage.
- Shred the cabbage thinly: This will help the slaw absorb the dressing better and make it easier to eat.
- Use a sharp knife or food processor: This will help you get even, thin shreds of cabbage.
- Don't overdress the slaw: A little dressing goes a long way. You can always add more dressing if needed, but it's hard to take it away.
- Let the slaw chill before serving: This will help the flavors meld and the slaw will be more refreshing.
- Serve the slaw as a side dish or main course: Cole slaw is a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of foods.
