Classic Coleslaw

This Classic Coleslaw is a side dish staple in our house. It’s the perfect complement to any summer barbecue or grilled meat dish. Crispy cabbage coated in the yummiest, tangy and creamy dressing—the perfect balance of texture and flavor!

Coleslaw is completely overlooked if you ask me, especially since it goes so well with so many foods! It’s easy to make and is a great side salad or topping for sandwiches. It’s a great side dish for pulled pork sandwiches, steak, sea food or grilled chicken—just about anything! Coleslaw can easily be changed up to suite your own personal taste preferences. It can be sweeter or saltier, and you can basically tailor it to the food it is going with. We’ve included some suggestions for add-ins if you’re feeling adventurous. Remember to invite friends because this is a slaw to awe!

Do I have to shred my own cabbage? Can I use pre-shredded cabbage?

No. I prefer fresh cabbage, but you can use bagged, shredded cabbage if you are pressed for time or just don’t feel like shredding it. You can shred the cabbage as large or fine as you like.
