What's Coleslaw Dressing Made Of Exactly?
BY SARAH LINTAKOON
Coleslaw is a classic summer dish served alongside barbecue, and the dish is marinated in a mayo vinegar dressing to achieve a creamy, tangy flavor.
Coleslaw is typically made of shredded cabbage and carrots tossed in a dressing made of mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, and spices, which can be tailored to your tastes.
To personalize it, try honey or maple syrup instead of sugar, experiment with different types of vinegar, or swap the mayo for Greek yogurt if you want a lighter, tangier dish.
You can also incorporate lemon juice for a zesty freshness, Dijon mustard or peppercorns for a slightly spicy dimension, or ingredients like honey, poppy seeds, or celery seeds.
