Equipment

  • Measuring Cups and Spoons
  • Mixing Bowls
  • Spatula

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup mayo
  • 1 small yellow onion minced
  • 2 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 3-4 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon dry mustard powder
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground white pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 16- ounce bag shredded cabbage mix

Instructions

  • In a small bowl make dressing by mixing mayonnaise, onion, sugar, vinegar, mustard powder, salt, pepper and garlic powder, then set aside.
  • Place cabbage mix in a large bowl and pour dressing over top. Toss well and enjoy right away or chill for 2 hours for best flavor every single time.

Notes

  • Chilling Matters: Enrich the taste and soften the cabbage slightly by chilling.
  • Adjust the Dressing: If you prefer a creamier coleslaw, add more mayo. For a tangier version, increase the vinegar.
  • Homemade Slaw: Freshly shredded cabbage has better texture than pre-packaged mixes.
  • Taste and Adjust: Everyone has a different taste preference, tweak the seasoning to your liking.
  • Refrigerator: Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3-4 days.
  • Freezer: If you must freeze extra slaw, store in a freezer bag to remove all the air to help prevent texture changes when thawed.
