Coleslaw Recipe Ingredients

Besides the shredded cabbage, most of the ingredients needed to make this coleslaw recipe are kitchen staples. Scroll down for the complete recipe with ingredient measurements.

• Shredded Cabbage: We like using store-bought packages of shredded coleslaw mix because it saves so much time. You can buy cabbage and shred it yourself if you prefer.
• Mayonnaise: This recipe calls for regular, full-fat mayonnaise for the best results. You can substitute light mayo but results will vary. If you opt to use Miracle Whip, we suggest adding less granulated sugar since it is already sweetened, and keep in mind that the flavor will be different from the original recipe.
• Sour Cream: The sour cream adds to the creaminess of the dressing and gives it a little tanginess.
• Apple Cider Vinger: Adding a little apple cider vinegar helps to thin the dressing. It also adds flavor. You can also use plain white vinegar or lemon juice if you prefer.
• Granulated Sugar: The sugar adds a little sweetness to the coleslaw dressing and is the perfect complement to the other tangy ingredients.
• Seasoning: We seasoned the dressing with onion powder, celery salt, and ground mustard.

• Dressing: Whisk together the dressing ingredients until combined. You can add more or less of any ingredients but you may want to wait to taste it until after the coleslaw has chilled to see if it needs more of anything.
• Mix: Stir the dressing and shredded cabbage mix until the cabbage is evenly coated with the dressing.
• Chill: Cover the bowl and chill the coleslaw in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
