Traditional Coleslaw Recipe with Homemade Dressing
When you need a quick and easy side dish for BBQ, parties or potlucks, this traditional coleslaw recipe will be your go-to. No fuss, no frills, just good ol’ classic coleslaw. The creamy, tangy homemade dressing makes all the difference.
In a small bowl, add mayonnaise, horseradish cream, Dijon mustard, maple syrup and apple cider vinegar together.
Mix well until combined and creamy.
Assembly
In a large mixing bowl, add all ingredients, drizzle salad dressing and toss together.
Make sure the salad is well coated and mixed well.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Notes
Coleslaw is ready to serve but giving it some extra time in the fridge to chill will help the flavours and texture of the salad.
Make sure you shred or cut the vegetables evenly.
For a lighter version of the dressing, replace part of the mayonnaise with sour cream or yoghurt.
For a creamy vegan coleslaw, switch regular mayonnaise for your favourite vegan brand.
You can very much make your own easy coleslaw recipe with other extra ingredients such as apple, pear, broccoli stems, celery, bell peppers, scallions, chives and parsley. Make sure you cut them thinly to match the shredded cabbage.
