This Classic Coleslaw recipe is a delightful side dish that pairs perfectly with various meals. It’s simple to prepare and bursting with fresh flavors.
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Servings: 6
Ingredients:
- 6 cups shredded cabbage
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1 tsp celery seed
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup white wine vinegar
- ¼ cup sugar
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional: ⅓ cup quick-pickled jalapenos
Instructions:
- Start by preparing your vegetables. Shred the cabbage until you have about 6 cups, and grate 1 cup of carrots. Place these in a large mixing bowl.
- In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, white wine vinegar, sugar, celery seed, salt, and pepper. This will create a creamy and tangy dressing.
- Pour the dressing over the shredded cabbage and carrots in the large mixing bowl. Use a spatula or a spoon to thoroughly combine everything. The dressing should evenly coat the veggies.
- For a bit of extra flavor and a hint of spice, you can add about 1/3 cup of quick-pickled jalapenos to the mixture. Stir these in if desired.
- Once everything is well combined, cover the coleslaw and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour. This allows the flavors to meld together and the coleslaw to cool.
