Ingredients:

  • 1 small head green cabbage
  • 1/2 small head red cabbage
  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup white wine vinegar, such as Chardonnay
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

Instruction:

  1. Remove and discard tough outer leaves from the green cabbage. Cut the head in half, cutting through the core.

Repeat with the red cabbage and place both in a large bowl.
  2. Whisk together the mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar and celery seeds in a small bowl, then season with salt and pepper. Add more sugar as desired. Toss the cabbage with half the dressing, then lay in a shallow dish (a 9-by-13-inch baking dish works well). Cover and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.
  3. Once cabbage has marinated in the dressing, taste and add reserved dressing as desired. Add the carrots and parsley and toss to combine.

FAQ

What is traditional coleslaw made of?

Here’s a classic coleslaw recipe made with thinly sliced cabbage, carrots, and green onions and a tangy dressing. A perfect side dish for picnics, BBQs, and summer potlucks.

What is KFC coleslaw made of?

But keep in mind that true KFC Coleslaw only contains green cabbage, carrots, and onions, so don’t use the packaged cabbage that has red cabbage or any herbs.

How does Jamie Oliver make coleslaw?

Peel the carrots, throw away the peel and then keep stripping until you get a pile of carrot ribbons. Slice the cabbage as finely as you can with a sharp knife. Place the carrot and cabbage in a bowl with the sliced onion, the yoghurt and the mustard. Mix well and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Why do you soak cabbage in salt water?

But a simple treatment for raw cabbage — salting — makes it just a tad more tender and considerably more flavorful while preserving its distinctive crunch. When you salt any vegetable that has high water content, the salt draws out some of the water by simple osmosis.
