Description
This creamy, tangy coleslaw dressing is quick, delicious, and made from simple pantry ingredients. With the perfect balance of mayonnaise, vinegar, and a hint of sweetness, it’s ideal for classic coleslaw or as a versatile sauce for sandwiches, salads, and grilled meats.
Ingredients
⅔ cup (160 g) whole-egg mayonnaise
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp dijon mustard
1 tsp white sugar (or honey)
½ tsp sea salt flakes
¼ tsp freshly cracked black pepper, plus extra to serve
Instructions
- In a small bowl or jar, combine mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, dijon mustard, sugar, salt, and black pepper.
- Whisk until smooth and creamy, or secure the lid and shake well to combine.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed—add more sugar for sweetness or vinegar for tanginess.
- Toss with shredded cabbage and vegetables just before serving for the best texture.
Notes
Use vegan mayonnaise to make this recipe vegan-friendly.
Substitute honey for sugar if preferred.
Add lemon juice or celery seed for extra flavor depth.
For a lighter version, replace some mayonnaise with Greek yogurt.
Store dressing separately from vegetables to keep coleslaw crisp.
