Steps:
- Working with half of the bag at a time, chop the coleslaw mix into 1/8-inch pieces (about the width of the carrots). Transfer to a large bowl. Dice enough of the onion into 1/8-inch pieces to yield 1/4 cup. Transfer to a fine-mesh strainer and rinse with cold water for 1 minute to soften the flavor. Gently wring out the onions in a paper towel and then stir into the coleslaw mix.
- In a pint jar or other container with a tight-fitting lid, stir together the sugar and 3 tablespoons water until the sugar dissolves a bit. Add the mayonnaise, vinegar, mustard powder, paprika and 1/2 teaspoon salt, put on the lid and shake vigorously until completely combined. Stir the dressing into the coleslaw, then set aside for 10 minutes to marinate and soften, stirring a few times. Add more salt, if needed. The coleslaw will keep, covered in the refrigerator, for up to 1 day.

Tips:
- Choose the right cabbage: For a classic coleslaw, green cabbage is a good choice. However, you can also use red cabbage or a mix of both for a more colorful slaw.
- Shred the cabbage thinly: This will help the dressing to penetrate the cabbage and make the slaw more flavorful.
- Use a sharp knife or mandoline: This will make quick work of shredding the cabbage.
- Add other vegetables: Feel free to add other vegetables to your coleslaw, such as carrots, celery, or bell peppers. This will add extra flavor and texture.
- Make your own dressing: A classic coleslaw dressing is made with mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, and salt. However, you can also experiment with other dressings, such as a vinaigrette or a yogurt-based dressing.
- Let the slaw rest: After you've made the slaw, let it rest for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the dressing to soak into the cabbage.
Conclusion:
Coleslaw is a versatile side dish that can be served with a variety of dishes. It's also a great way to use up leftover cabbage. With so many different recipes to choose from, you're sure to find a coleslaw that everyone will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy side dish, give coleslaw a try!
