THE BEST VINEGAR COLESLAW

The Best Vinegar Coleslaw image

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.

RED CABBAGE COLESLAW

Red Cabbage Coleslaw image

This is an awesome coleslaw that I make occasionally, because it is tart, crunchy, and flavorful. Unlike traditional coleslaw, my recipe is not sweet at all, but is sour because of the acidity from the lemon juice and pickles. The crunchy vegetables and creamy dressing makes it refreshing as a side dish for a barbeque or a quick and easy salad to accompany a weekday dinner. Enjoy!
