This simple coleslaw recipe is a quick, creamy, and tangy side dish made with just four ingredients. Using pre-shredded cabbage, it comes together in minutes and pairs perfectly with barbecue, sandwiches, or as a refreshing salad on its own.

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 ½ tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 1 bag (14 oz) coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, and sugar until smooth and creamy.
  2. Add the coleslaw mix and stir until the cabbage is evenly coated in the dressing.
  3. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  4. Stir again before serving for best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Swap apple cider vinegar with lemon juice or white vinegar for a different flavor profile.
  • Add-ins like green onions, celery seeds, or thinly sliced apples enhance texture and taste.
  • Try this dressing with kale or broccoli slaw mixes for variety.
  • Make ahead and store dressing separately for maximum crunch when ready to serve.
