TANGY COLESLAW



Tangy Coleslaw image

The sugar and vinegar added to a classic coleslaw give this dish an excellent zing that everyone is sure to love. My friends love to make "slaw dogs" with this at our picnics!

Provided by DrewInKY

Categories     Low Protein

Time 30m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 head cabbage, shredded
2 medium carrots, peeled and shredded
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup mayonnaise
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Pour 1/2 cup cider vinegar into a small saucepan. Add one cup sugar, stirring constantly to dissolve. Heat the mixture over medium heat until it begins to boil and all of the sugar is completely dissolved into the vinegar. Set the mixture aside and allow it to return to room temperature. You may also place the mixture in the refrigerator or freezer to cool it down faster, but don't leave it too long or it will turn into a syrup and be harder to work with.
  • Mix the cabbage, carrots and mayo in a bowl. Add approximately half of the vinegar mixture and mix until it is evenly distributed throughout the coleslaw. Add more of the mixture for a sweeter and tangier coleslaw. Add the salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately or refrigerate for later use.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of cabbages and other vegetables to add texture and flavor to your coleslaw. Some good options include green cabbage, red cabbage, broccoli slaw, and carrots.
  • Shred your vegetables as thinly as possible. This will help the dressing to coat them evenly and make the coleslaw more tender.
  • Use a flavorful dressing. A good coleslaw dressing should be tangy, sweet, and creamy. You can make your own dressing or use a store-bought one.
  • Let the coleslaw chill for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the coleslaw to become more crisp.
  • Serve coleslaw as a side dish with grilled or fried meats, fish, or sandwiches. It can also be used as a topping for tacos, burritos, and salads.

Conclusion:

Tangy citrus coleslaw is a refreshing and flavorful side dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its bright colors and tangy dressing, it is sure to be a hit at your next party or potluck. So next time you are looking for a simple and delicious side dish, give tangy citrus coleslaw a try..
