Best Coleslaw

This is the best coleslaw you'll ever have! It's bright, creamy, and filled with delicious crunch from cabbage and carrots.

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, sugar, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, celery seeds, onion powder, and black pepper.
  • Add the coleslaw mix to a large bowl. Add ¾ of the dressing and toss to combine. Taste and add more dressing if you like it more creamy.
  • Serve immediately or refrigerate for one hour to allow the cabbage to soften. Personally, I think coleslaw tastes the best when it's still crunchy, so I eat it immediately.

Notes

Coleslaw mix: If you'd rather make your own, just combine 5 cups shredded green cabbage, 1 cup purple cabbage, and 1 cup carrots. You'll need about 8 cups of shredded vegetables for this recipe.
