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.

Steps:
- Whisk together the vinegar, salt, sugar, celery salt, pepper and garlic in a large bowl until combined. Reserve 1/4 cup of the dressing for serving. Toss the green cabbage, red cabbage and carrots in the remaining dressing until the vegetables are completely coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 3.
- Strain the coleslaw through a colander and discard the liquid. Transfer the coleslaw to a serving bowl. Drizzle with the reserved dressing and the oil. Season with salt and pepper if necessary. Toss to coat.
LIGHT AND TART COLE SLAW (LOW MAYO)
Red apple adds color and punch to this tangy cole slaw. It is so light and refreshing compared to the heavy mayo cole slaws. Also has less sugar since it has the natural sugars of the apples. With a bit of pepper sauce it makes a fun, festive side to ribs, fish or chicken.

Tips:
- Choose the right cabbage: Green cabbage is the most common type of cabbage used for coleslaw, but you can also use red cabbage or a combination of both. Red cabbage will give your coleslaw a beautiful purple hue.
- Shred the cabbage finely: This will help the coleslaw dressing to coat the cabbage evenly.
- Use a sharp knife or mandoline to shred the cabbage: This will help to create thin, even shreds.
- Add other vegetables to your coleslaw: Shredded carrots, celery, bell peppers, and onions are all popular additions to coleslaw.
- Make your own coleslaw dressing: It's easy to make your own coleslaw dressing with just a few simple ingredients like mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, and mustard.
- Let the coleslaw chill before serving: This will help the flavors to meld and develop.
