Simple Sweet and Tangy Coleslaw
Coleslaw is a crowd favorite, and there are so many ways to make it; simple and quick or over-the-top with a variety of vegetables, textures and dressings.
Ingredients
- 1 (10 to 16 ounce) package shredded cabbage
- 3 to 4 teaspoons salt, divided
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar (choose unpasteurized, unfiltered for health benefits)
- 1/4 cup real maple syrup
- 1/4 cup good quality nut, olive or sunflower oil
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1 teaspoon celery seed
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Place shredded cabbage in medium bowl. Sprinkle with 2 teaspoons of salt and toss together. Let sit for several hours, then drain excess water. You can skip this step, but it makes for a less watered-down coleslaw. In a small bowl, mix together the dressing ingredients. Pour over cabbage and toss to coat evenly. Taste and adjust seasonings. Chill and serve. The longer it sits, the better it tastes.
