Coleslaw Recipe

Coleslaw is a classic side dish popular across various cuisines, known for its crisp texture and creamy dressing. This salad primarily consists of shredded cabbage and carrots, often accentuated with onions and a blend of seasonings. The dressing, typically a mix of mayonnaise or salad dressing, vinegar, and sometimes sugar, lends it a tangy and sometimes sweet flavor profile. While simple in composition, coleslaw can see wide variations in nutritional values and ingredients based on personal preference or regional twists.

Preparation of Vegetables

Begin by thinly slicing the cabbage and shredding the carrots. If using, mince the onion. The vegetables provide the crunchy base of your coleslaw.

Mixing the Dressing

In a separate bowl, combine mayonnaise (or your choice of salad dressing), a splash of vinegar, and sugar. Season with salt and pepper to taste. You can adjust the amounts depending on your preference for a creamier or lighter dressing.

Combining Ingredients

Mix the dressing with the sliced cabbage, shredded carrots, and minced onions (if used) until they are well coated. If desired, add herbs like parsley or chives for an extra burst of flavor.

Serving

Allow the coleslaw to chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving. This helps the flavors to meld together and the vegetables to absorb the dressing, enhancing the overall taste.
