Description
This easy vinegar-based coleslaw makes a perfect side dish for your game day, Kansas City barbecue. It cuts through the sweetness and fattiness of the meat while adding texture and crunch.
Ingredients
For the slaw:
- 1 medium head green cabbage (finely shredded)
- 1 medium sweet onion (finely chopped)
- 2 carrots, grated
- ¼ cup cilantro, chopped
For the dressing:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ⅔ cup canola or peanut oil
- 1 teaspoon dry mustard
- 1 teaspoon celery seeds
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup apple cider vinegar
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, onion, carrots, and cilantro. Stir together. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, stir together the sugar, salt, oil, mustard, celery seed, pepper, and vinegar. Bring to a boil.
Simmer the dressing, stirring often, until the sugar dissolves -about 5 minutes.
Remove the pan from the heat and allow it to cool to room temperature.
When cool to the touch, pour the dressing over the vegetables.
Toss to coat all vegetables with the dressing.
Cover the bowl tightly and refrigerate until the slaw is very cold.
