Classic Cole Slaw

Tammy Circeo
Classic Cole Slaw is an amazing salad to go with so many meals. It brings freshness and crunchiness that is so welcome! It hardly needs a recipe and it's easy to add extra spices to make it go with any other flavors of your meal.

Ingredients
  

  • ½ large cabbage about 6-7 cups
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar or other acid of choice. See Notes.
  • Salt and pepper to season

Instructions
 

  • Put the mayonnaise in a large mixing bowl, add the vinegar (or citrus juice), and whisk to combine. Add salt and freshly ground pepper to season and stir to mix.
  • Cut the cabbage into wedges, then cut crosswise to create shreds. Place the shreds in the bowl with the dressing and stir to mix well.

Notes

Use any citrus juice in place of apple cider vinegar, if desired. For example, I use lime juice when I'm making Cole Slaw to serve with fish tacos. I also like to add other spices such as cumin or smoked paprika. 
You can use any vinegar you want ... red wine vinegar, white wine vinegar, champagne vinegar, sherry vinegar ... Use what you like!
