This creamy coleslaw is one in every of our hottest recipes on Memorial Day weekend yearly. It is one in every of my favourite summer season aspect dishes too!
I’ve shared loads of slaw recipes through the years.
There’s this colourful cabbage salad that’s tossed in a flippantly creamy peanut dressing and this vinegar coleslaw that includes a tangy apple cider vinaigrette. My broccoli slaw has a base of broccoli stem matchsticks (waste not, need not!), and this kohlrabi slaw contains apples for sweetness.
I like all of them, however this creamy coleslaw will all the time be my favourite.
Right here’s why I like this coleslaw recipe:
- It’s basic and nostalgic. Coleslaw has been one in every of my favourite cookout aspect dishes since I used to be a child. With its creamy, candy, and tangy dressing, this recipe checks each basic field.
- The creamy/crunchy stability is so good. I like how the crisp veggies play off the creamy dressing. It’s not too creamy although. I’m not a fan of mayo-based dressings that verge on gloopy. This one has an ideal pourable texture.
- It has just a few savory extras. Most store-bought slaw mixes simply embody cabbage and carrots. I additionally add scallions to this recipe, which give the slaw a pleasant freshness and just a little oniony depth. And I exploit celery seed within the dressing, which has a concentrated savory taste. I believe it actually kicks this coleslaw up a notch.
