The Perfect Cole Slaw Recipes

PERFECT CREAMY COLESLAW

Steps:

• Place the shredded cabbage and carrots in a large bowl and sprinkle a teaspoon of salt over them. Toss to combine. Let this sit for at least an hour to draw out excess water. Rinse and thoroughly drain (either use a salad spinner to spin dry it or lay it out on paper towels and blot dry.) Return the cabbage to the bowl.
• Combine the dressing ingredients in a small bowl. Pour it over the cabbage mixture and stir until combined. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.

Steps:

• Whisk together the vinegar, salt, sugar, celery salt, pepper and garlic in a large bowl until combined. Reserve 1/4 cup of the dressing for serving. Toss the green cabbage, red cabbage and carrots in the remaining dressing until the vegetables are completely coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 3.
• Strain the coleslaw through a colander and discard the liquid. Transfer the coleslaw to a serving bowl. Drizzle with the reserved dressing and the oil. Season with salt and pepper if necessary. Toss to coat.

THE PERFECT COLE SLAW

Steps:

• 1. Finely slice a head of cabbage into a large bowl or pot. Discard the hard core from the middle. Peel and grate 2 baby carrots into the bowl.
• 2. Add several large spoonfuls of mayonnaise. Add salt, pepper and sugar. Mix thoroughly. **It's easier to do this with your hands.
• 3. **BE A TASTER!** Taste the dressing. If it is too tart add more sugar a little bit at a time. If it needs salt, add it now a little at a time. The flavors should all balance together so there is no individual flavor overpowering another. When taste is balanced, cover and refrigerate until chilled through. Enjoy!
