Description

Get ready to savor a taste of the South with this classic Southern coleslaw recipe. Crisp cabbage and carrots come together in a creamy, tangy dressing that’s both sweet and savory.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 3 cups green cabbage finely shredded (see notes below)
  • 3 cups purple cabbage finely shredded
  • 1 cup carrot finely shredded
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup white vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon celery seeds
  • salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Shred cabbages and carrots and place in a large bowl.
  2. Mix the dressing in a small bowl.
  3. Toss everything together to coat the cabbage mixture with the dressing, then chill for at least one hour to allow the flavors to blend.

Notes

You can substitute a 16-ounce bag of coleslaw mix or shredded cabbage if you prefer not to shred your own.

Store leftover coleslaw in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The slaw will become softer as it is stored so it is best enjoyed the same day if possible.
