SWEET VINEGAR SLAW

Estimated reading time: 3 minutes

I’m a picky eater when it comes to coleslaw and in my opinion, not all slaws are created equal. However, this recipe for my sweet vinegar slaw is a home run and makes a wonderful addition to pulled pork sandwiches, tacos or simply as a side dish.

This coleslaw is very similar to Amish slaw, but it has a little bit of mayonnaise in it. I find that the mayo helps coat the cabbage better, but it can definitely be left out and will still be delicious!

Most coleslaw recipes are heavy on the mayonnaise and I’m just not a fan of that. You can still get the creamy component that mayo adds to slaw without having to use a ton of it. You can also make this recipe lower in fat by using a light mayonnaise or Greek yogurt.

TIP—If you are short on time then go ahead and buy a store-bought slaw mix otherwise you can make your own by shredding green cabbage, purple cabbage and carrots at a ratio of 3:2:1. I like to add 1 green onion (thinly sliced) to my mix as well and fresh parsley or cilantro.

TIP—This sweet vinegar slaw recipe is best if you make it slightly ahead of time so that it softens the cabbages and allows for the flavors to mingle together. It will keep for a couple of days in an airtight container but will become softer and runnier as the days progress.

Ingredients

• Slaw mix
• Apple cider vinegar
• Dijon mustard
• Mayonnaise or Greek yogurt
• Sweetener
• Celery seeds
• Extra virgin olive oil

How to make sweet vinegar slaw

• Whisk all of the ingredients together except for the slaw mix then add the sauce to the slaw mix and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Sweet vinegar slaw is light and refreshing and goes well with so many dishes like BBQ or tacos. I love to top my SLOW COOKER BEEF BARBACOA (Mexican shredded beef) or EASY SLOW COOKER PORK CARNITAS with it. Plus, it makes a great side dish with my SMOKED CHICKEN WINGS or FRIED CHICKEN TENDERS.
