My Favorite Coleslaw Food

SERIOUSLY GOOD HOMEMADE COLESLAW

Steps:

• Quarter the cabbage through the core, and then cut out the core. Cut each quarter crosswise in half and finely shred. Place the shredded cabbage in a very large bowl (you will have 6 to 8 cups).
• Add the shredded carrot and parsley to the cabbage and toss to mix.
• In a separate bowl, stir the mayonnaise, vinegar, mustard, celery seeds, salt, and pepper together. Taste for acidity and seasoning, then adjust as desired. If the dressing tastes too tart and you prefer a sweeter coleslaw, stir in the optional sugar.
• Pour two-thirds of the dressing over the cabbage and carrot then mix well. (Clean hands are the quickest tool).
• If the coleslaw seems dry, add a little more of the dressing. Eat right away or let it sit in the refrigerator for about an hour to let the flavors mingle and the cabbage to soften.

THE BEST COLESLAW RECIPE

Steps:

• Combine all dressing ingredients in a bowl.
• Toss with cabbage & carrots. Refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving to allow flavors to blend.

VEGETABLE COLESLAW

Steps:

• Fit a food processor with the thickest slicing blade. Cut the cabbages into small wedges and place horizontally into the feed tube. Process in batches. Next, fit the food processor with the grating blade. Cut the carrots in half and place in the feed tube so they are lying on their sides. Process in batches and mix in a bowl with the grated cabbages.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, mustard, sugar, vinegar, celery seeds, celery salt, salt, and pepper. Pour enough of the dressing over the grated vegetables to moisten them. Serve cold or at room temperature.

THE BEST CREAMY COLESLAW

Steps:

• Toss together the cabbage and carrots in a large bowl.
• Whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, vinegar, mustard, honey and celery salt in a medium bowl. Pour the dressing over the shredded vegetables and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Season with more salt and pepper before serving.

CLASSIC COLESLAW

Steps:

• Remove and discard tough outer leaves from the green cabbage. Cut the head in half, cutting through the core. Use the tip of the knife to remove the core from both halves, then cut each half into quarters. Slice each quarter thinly into short strips. Repeat with the red cabbage and place both in a large bowl.
• Whisk together the mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar and celery seeds in a small bowl, then season with salt and pepper. Add more sugar as desired. Toss the cabbage with half the dressing, then lay in a shallow dish (a 9-by-13-inch baking dish works well). Cover and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.
• Once cabbage has marinated in the dressing, taste and add reserved dressing as desired. Add the carrots and parsley and toss to combine.
