Simple Creamy Coleslaw


This is a simple recipe, made even simpler if you buy prepackaged coleslaw mix and just make the dressing. I like a nice kale coleslaw mix. The key to good coleslaw, though, is time. It’s always better the next day because the liquid has leached out of the cabbage, making it more tender and less bitter … so make it a day ahead if possible.

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 green cabbage, sliced very thinly (approx. 4 c)
  • 1 large carrot, grated (approx. 1 c)
  • 1/2 sweet onion, thinly sliced

Dressing Ingredients:

  • 1/2 c olive oil mayonnaise
  • 1/4 c apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 Tbsp dried onion flakes
  • 1/4 tsp sugar
  • pinch salt
  • pinch pepper
  • 1/8 tsp pepper

Directions:

  1. Combine all the dressing ingredients then toss with the cabbage, carrots and onion. Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
