NANA'S SOUTHERN COLESLAW

Just an old family recipe that I have been told is reminiscent of KFC coleslaw. You be the judge! To speed things up I sometimes just buy an already shredded bag of cabbage with carrots in it and then just chop it a little finer.

QUICK COLESLAW

Quick Coleslaw image

This coleslaw is quick, easy, and tangy. I created it myself while trying to cut down on purchased or processed foods. Prep time includes shredding the cabbage and carrots, which can be reduced if you purchase them already shredded. It makes only about 1-2 cups once it is mixed up, as the vegetables are compacted.

Tips for Making Southern-Style Quick Coleslaw:

Use a sharp knife or mandoline to thinly slice the cabbage. This will help the coleslaw absorb the dressing better.
If you don't have a mandoline, you can use a food processor fitted with the shredding disc. Just be careful not to over-process the cabbage, or it will become too mushy.
To make the coleslaw dressing, whisk together the mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper. You can also add other ingredients to the dressing, such as Dijon mustard, celery seeds, or grated carrots.
Once the dressing is made, toss it with the cabbage and other vegetables. Be sure to coat all of the cabbage evenly.
Chill the coleslaw for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the coleslaw to become more crisp.
Serve the coleslaw as a side dish with fried chicken, barbecue, or hamburgers.

Conclusion:

Southern-style quick coleslaw is a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy side dish, give this Southern-style quick coleslaw a try!
