Creamy Coleslaw
This sweetly creamy coleslaw recipe differs in some ways from the old-fashioned slaw Cousin Shari used to make though the amount of sugar is adjustable. As for other descriptions of this tangy dressing, well, it isn't quite a vinaigrette, yet it isn't really a sauce, either. It really can't be classified as anything else than dressing for slaw.
Ingredients
- 1/2 medium yellow onion, finely diced
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 large head (at least 2 1/2 pounds) green cabbage, shredded
Instructions
- Combine the onion and 1/4 cup sugar in a large bowl and let sit for 30 minutes.
- Add the oil, mayonnaise, vinegar, salt, and pepper to the onion and sugar and stir well to combine. Taste and, if desired, add some or all of the remaining 1/4 cup sugar and stir until it dissolves. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
- About 15 to 30 minutes before serving, add the cabbage to the dressing and toss well. Refrigerate the coleslaw until serving time.
