Easy Coleslaw Recipe
There’s so many reasons to serve Coleslaw beyond the Summer bbq’s. It’s a classic and beloved side dish that is easy to make and goes well with grilled meats. There’s so much flexibility with our Easy Coleslaw recipe too. Instead of using regular green cabbage, there’s purple cabbage and Savoy cabbage that can be used. Our Coleslaw dressing is tangy, flavorful and the perfect balance of sweet, creamy and tang.This classic and favorite Coleslaw recipe isn’t set in stone. You can add and change up the dressing ingredients to make it your own. Like your Coleslaw recipe to be more sweet? Just add more sugar and if you like it tangier just add lore vinegar or mustard. Our favorite spice is the celery seed which adds such a great flavor to this Coleslaw. Serve it for dinner with some roast chicken or add it on top of sandwiches, sliders or burgers.
Watch how we make our amazing Easy Coleslaw recipe:
This coleslaw is fantastic and as you eat it more you’ll find so many more meals to serve it with! Make the dressing and set it aside. Then combine the cabbage and carrots. Combine the dressing and slaw mix about 20 minutes before serving. This will give a nice crunch to the salad. If you prepare it ahead of time, the slaw will release moisture and become softer. So you decide which texture you like best! If you make it let us know in the comments. Thanks so much!

Make the dressing and set it aside. We love apple cider vinegar, but if you don't you can use 2 Tablespoons or less. Combine the dressing and slaw mix about 20 minutes before serving. This will give a nice crunch to the salad. If you prepare it ahead of time, the slaw will release moisture and become softer. So you decide which texture you like best!
