    Coleslaw Recipe

    With lemon juice and mayonnaise

    It's a side dish that comes in the salad category. Shredded or sliced cabbage is used to prepare this salad with creamy mayo dressing. You can add more vegetables as per your taste but this is all optional. Coleslaw is also famous for slaw. It's commonly made by fast-food restaurants to serve with fried chicken.

    Why With Mayo & Lemon Juice?

    It's simple and easy to prepare coleslaw at home using minimal ingredients. Cabbage is essential to prepare this recipe. Rest you can play with seasoning, dressing, and other veggies to add to this recipe. Must try with fried food, burger, sandwich, and fried snacks.

    Here in this recipe, I have added freshly squeezed lemon juice with mayo that will add a perfect taste with sweet, sour, and acetic flavor that blends well with cabbage. You can increase and decrease the quantity of lemon juice as per your taste.

    Best Cabbage for Coleslaw

    Many people ask about the best cabbage for coleslaw. I personally like to make it with green cabbage but you can also use red, purple cabbage, and savoy cabbage. Once I tried Chinese green cabbage and it was awesome. Napa or black cabbage can also be used.

    Quick Tips

    Here are a few tips and tricks for beginners trying coleslaw at home:

    1. Finely shred the cabbage using a knife or cabbage slicer.
    2. Soak the cabbage in salt water to release the bitterness.
    3. Rinse the cabbage after soaking.
    4. Make sure the water is squeezed from veggies otherwise the salad will become watery after some time.
    5. For a specific sour taste, use vinegar or fresh lemon.
    6. Don't serve right after making. Give it some time to settle down the dressing with vegetables. This will enhance the taste and give you the best taste.
    7. Avoid adding vegetables with watery features.
    8. You can make changes in seasoning as per your taste.
    9. Keep it a cool place after making.

    Variations

    Normally a good coleslaw dressing texture is creamy with a sweet and sour taste. You can play with dressing ingredients and seasoning as per your taste. Here in this recipe, I tried to make it creamy, sweet, and sour with a tangy taste that makes a good combination with cabbage. If you want you can also use dijon, vinegar, or celery seeds.

    Q & A

    Is Coleslaw Keto?

    There is no doubt... it's a 100% keto recipe because of cabbage contains low calories and is recommended for weight loss.

    How to Store Coleslaw?

    You can simply refrigerate in an airtight container for 2 to 3 days. I don't recommend storing more than that as it's homemade and does not contain any preservatives.

    How to Get Rid Of the Bitter Taste of Coleslaw?

    Sprinkle a little salt on the coleslaw and mix well. Let it rest for a few minutes then rinse it well. In this way, it will release the excess water. Let it dry before use.

    Is coleslaw good for health?

    It's healthy as it contains vegetables. Cabbage is a great source of weight loss. The dressing is very important to make healthy coleslaw. Mayo contains saturated fats so if you can replace it with yogurt to make it more healthy.

    What is KFC Coleslaw Recipe?

    This recipe is more or less similar to KFC coleslaw as it contains sliced/shredded cabbage and other veggies. Mayo salad dressing was added to make a similar version.

    Notes

    1. Use the best brand of mayo or you can also use homemade mayonnaise.
    2. Adding a little sugar will not make it sweet in flavor but enhance the taste with little sweetness.
    3. The addition of garlic will give it a unique flavor and aroma.
    4. Monitor the quantity of milk as it can make the sauce runny. 
    5. If the sauce gets thin in texture then add more mayo to make it thick.
    6. You can use multi-color cabbage to make it more vibrant. Geen cabbage, Chinese cabbage, savoy, and red cabbage can be used. If you like the flavor then use black or napa cabbage. 
    7. You can make this salad ahead of time. Best for party menu. 
    8. Use the leftover cabbage dressing as a sandwich spread and macaroni or pasta sauce.
