The Best Basic Creamy Southern Coleslaw Ever
Ingredients
  • subheading: Slaw:
  • 1 pound green cabbage (about half a medium cabbage)
  • 1 large carrot, peeled
  • ½ small white onion
  • subheading: Dressing:
  • 1 tablespoon distilled vinegar
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon Morton’s coarse kosher salt (read more about the science of salt  here)
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon celery seeds (not celery salt)
  • About the vinegar. Switch to cider vinegar at your own risk. I think plain white distilled works better.
  • My favorite add-in. I first tasted this in Charleston South Carolina, and I loved it. Add 1 tablespoon of sweet pickle relish or chipped sweet pickles.
  • Optional. Add ½ red or green bell pepper, sliced thin or hashed.
  • Optional. Add 3 radishes, red or white, hot if you like, sliced thin or hashed.
  • Optional. Add 1 small minced jalapeño if you like it hot. Chipotle powder is another way to amp it up. Horseradish, just a tablespoon in the background, is a surprising addition.
