COLE SLAW; THE ULTIMATE

Cole Slaw; the Ultimate image

Been a caterer and personal chef for over 20 yrs. This particular recipe for cole slaw seems to be the favorite of both my friends and customers. If you like a sweet/sour cole slaw then give it a try. I do our church's Roast Chicken Dinner each year before our annual festival and I always make more because there are those who like to take it home by the pint. I don't use any salt nor onion. There's ample salt in the mayo. Seemingly sometimes the onion overpowers the slaw. Then there are customers who dislike onion. You may also substitute Splenda for the granulated sugar. You may also use a lower fat mayonnaise but I think it adds a different flavor. You may also substitute the extra 1/2 cup of mayo for milk.

COLESLAW

Coleslaw image

This classic version of coleslaw is also the simplest, with a light, creamy, tangy-sweet dressing spiked with celery seeds. For the best result, make the coleslaw a few hours ahead and refrigerate it to allow all the flavors to marry and soak into the cabbage. Celery seeds add strong, aromatic, grassy notes, but simply skip them if they're unavailable. For extra flair, you could add ½ cup of your favorite chopped fresh herb, such as parsley, tarragon or dill. Leftovers make a great topping for tacos, hot dogs, sliders and sandwiches.

Time 10m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon celery seeds
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 medium head green cabbage (about 2 pounds)
1/2 medium head purple cabbage (about 1 pound)
2 carrots, grated on the large holes of a box grater

Steps:

In a very large bowl, combine mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar and celery seeds. Season with salt and pepper, and mix until smooth.
Shred the cabbage: Using a sharp knife, quarter and core the green cabbage. Arrange quarters cut side down, so they sit flat and stable. Thinly slice them lengthwise for longer shreds (or crosswise for shorter shreds). Repeat with the purple cabbage. You should get about 16 total cups of shredded green and purple cabbage.
Add all the shredded cabbage and the shredded carrots to the bowl, season with salt and pepper, and toss until well combined. (Hands work best here.)
Transfer coleslaw to a serving bowl and serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate 3 hours ahead of time and up to overnight for the best texture, and serve chilled.
