Memphis chopped cole slaw is a popular side dish served alongside sandwiches, burgers, and barbecue. It is a combination of shredded cabbage, carrots, and mayonnaise, along with a variety of seasonings and spices. The unique flavor of Memphis chopped cole slaw comes from the combination of sweetness, tanginess, and creaminess. The sweetness comes from the sugar or honey that is added to the slaw, while the tanginess comes from the vinegar or lemon juice. The creaminess comes from the mayonnaise, which also helps to hold the slaw together.

MEMPHIS STYLE MUSTARD COLESLAW RECIPE



Memphis Style Mustard Coleslaw Recipe image

This is THE most flavorful coleslaw recipe you'll ever try, I can promise you that. You've never had anything quite like this. Perfect with Memphis barbeque ribs or chicken (or whatever), you'll probably want to make this instead of your regular coleslaw for... well, forever. It's that good. You'll want to start this a day in advance if you have time. Because while taking the time to draw the extra liquid from the veggies really makes the texture of the final slaw, it does take some time to drain, rinse, and dry them

Categories     < 30 Mins

Time 20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 head green cabbage, shredded (or 1 16 oz. bag coleslaw mix)
2 large carrots, shredded
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped
1 medium white onion, finely chopped
2 teaspoons salt
1/4 cup yellow mustard
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/4 cup chili sauce (can use ketchup in a pinch)
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
1 teaspoon celery seed
2/3 cup brown sugar

Steps:

  • Combine prepared vegetables (cabbage, carrot, jalepeño, and onion) and salt together in a strainer over the sink.
  • Let sit at least 15 minutes (1-2 hours is better) to drain. This keeps the finished slaw from being nasty and watery.
  • Rinse the vegetables under cold water and let dry. In a bowl or plastic bag, place in the refrigerator until ready to use, up to one day.
  • To make dressing, combine mustards, vinegar, chili sauce, mayonnaise, sour cream (or Greek yogurt), and sugar in a medium, non-reactive saucepan. Bring to a boil. Add celery seed. Reduce heat and simmer about 3-5 minutes, until sugar has dissolved.
  • Cool to room temperature. Pour over veggies in a large serving bowl. Mix well.
  • Refrigerate at least an hour before serving. Perfect on a Memphis barbeque pulled pork sandwich.

1 cup cider vinegar
1 (32 ounce) jar mayonnaise (such as Best Foods®)
2 tablespoons prepared yellow mustard
2 tablespoons celery seed
2 tablespoons salt, or to taste

Tips:

  • Choose the right cabbage. Green cabbage is the most common type used in coleslaw, but you can also use red cabbage or a mix of both. Green cabbage will give you a more traditional coleslaw, while red cabbage will add a pop of color and a slightly sweeter flavor.
  • Shred the cabbage thinly. This will help the coleslaw absorb the dressing better and make it easier to eat. You can use a food processor or a sharp knife to shred the cabbage.
  • Use a creamy dressing. A creamy dressing is the classic choice for coleslaw, and there are many different variations you can make. Some popular options include mayonnaise-based dressings, sour cream-based dressings, and yogurt-based dressings.
  • Add some vegetables or fruit. Coleslaw is a great way to sneak in some extra vegetables or fruit. Some popular additions include carrots, celery, onion, apple, and pineapple.
  • Season to taste. Be sure to season your coleslaw to taste with salt, pepper, and other spices. You can also add a bit of sweetness with sugar or honey.

Conclusion:

Coleslaw is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It's perfect for picnics, potlucks, and barbecues. And with so many different variations to choose from, there's sure to be a coleslaw recipe that everyone will love.
