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.
SWEET COLESLAW
Adding a little orange juice to make the dressing a little sweeter. This recipe easily makes enough for 10 people or more. If it's on the thin side, add another 1/2 cup of mayonnaise. If it's too thick, thin with more orange juice.

COLE SLAW WITH MISO DRESSING
Red cabbage is especially pretty in this dish, but green cabbage, Napa or Savoy would work just as well, so use whatever you like. This recipe makes a generous amount of dressing so that you can dress the slaw to your liking. Start by tossing the cabbage with half the miso mixture, then add more until it's dressed to your idea of perfection. Whatever you don't use can be tossed with other salad greens, drizzled over rice, or used as a dip for crunchy cucumbers, snap peas or carrots.

My grandmother taught me how to make the dressing for this coleslaw when I was very young. It's not too tart and not too sweet. Sometimes I make 8 gallon jars a week at the restaurant where I work! It gets lots of compliments on my sweet coleslaw recipe. -Denise Elder, Hanover, Ontario

Tips:
- Choose the right cabbage: For the best coleslaw, use a firm, crisp cabbage with a mild flavor. Green cabbage and red cabbage are both good choices.
- Shred the cabbage finely: This will help the dressing to coat the cabbage evenly and make it easier to eat.
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the coleslaw will taste. If possible, use organic ingredients.
- Make the dressing ahead of time: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. You can make the dressing up to 2 days in advance.
- Don't overdress the coleslaw: Too much dressing will make the coleslaw soggy. Add the dressing gradually and taste as you go.
- Chill the coleslaw before serving: This will help the flavors to set and make the coleslaw more refreshing.
Conclusion:
Sweet coleslaw is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed at any time of year. With its sweet and tangy dressing, it's perfect for potlucks, picnics, and barbecues. It's also a great way to use up leftover cabbage. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy side dish, give sweet coleslaw a try. You won't be disappointed!
