Equipment

  • Bowl
  • Lid

Ingredients
  

  • 6 cups finely chopped green cabbage
  • ½ cup shredded carrot
  • cup finely diced yellow onion
  • 1 cup creamy mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
  • 2 tablespoons dill pickle relish
  • 2 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 2 tablespoons neutral vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice adds a bright, fresh zing

Instructions
 

Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients

  • Start by collecting all the ingredients. You won’t want to run around the kitchen mid-recipe, so have everything ready. Measure them out and set them in front of you.

Step 2: Chop Your Veggies

  • Finely chop the green cabbage. Make sure you pay attention to the cut. You’re aiming for pieces that are bite-sized, not massive chunks. Next, shred the carrots and finely dice the yellow onion. Each ingredient plays a crucial role in the texture and flavor, so take your time.

Step 3: Prepare the Dressing

  • In a separate large bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sugar, sweet pickle relish, dill pickle relish, white vinegar, yellow mustard, vegetable oil, and lemon juice. Whisk them together until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency. It will look delicious already.

Step 4: Mix It All Together

  • Now, add the chopped cabbage, shredded carrots, and diced onion to the bowl of dressing. Use a spatula or large spoon to ensure every piece of vegetable is coated in that creamy goodness. This step is vital because every bite should be flavorful.

Step 5: Chill and Serve

  • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid, and let the coleslaw chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour. This waiting game is where the flavors meld beautifully. When you’re ready to serve, give it a quick toss and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh cabbage and veggies make all the difference. They provide that essential crunchy texture.
  • Let it rest: Allow it to chill for at least an hour. This enhances the flavor as all the ingredients have time to marry.
  • Adjust the sweetness: Taste after mixing. If you prefer it sweeter, add a dash more sugar until you hit the right note.
  • Experiment with other veggies: Want to have fun? Toss into your slaw some diced bell peppers or even shredded red cabbage for added color and crunch.
  • Keep it creamy: If it seems too dry after chilling, add a little more mayonnaise right before serving.
