Ingredients
Scale
Coleslaw
- 2 cups Coleslaw Mix
- 1/2 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 Lemon (juiced)
- 1 tablespoon Distilled White Vinegar
- 3 tablespoons Sweet Pickle Relish
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
- 2 tablespoons Granulated Sugar
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add 2 cups of coleslaw mix, 1/2 cup mayonnaise, the juice of one lemon, 1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar, 3 tablespoons sweet pickle relish, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper, and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar. Stir all the ingredients thoroughly until evenly combined to create a creamy dressing-coated coleslaw.
- Chill: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid, then refrigerate the coleslaw for at least 1 hour. This allows the flavors to meld and the cabbage to soften slightly, enhancing the taste and texture before serving.
Notes
- For crunchier texture, add the dressing just before serving instead of letting it sit for an hour.
- Adjust sugar quantity to taste for sweeter or tangier coleslaw.
- You can substitute mayonnaise with a light or vegan mayo for a healthier or dietary-friendly option.
- This coleslaw is best served chilled and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Adding freshly grated carrots or chopped green onions can enhance flavor and texture.
