This creamy cole slaw is made with cabbage, carrots, and onions along with a dressing made from sour cream and mayonnaise.
The past month we’ve had really great CSA boxes and this week was no exception. This week we received 2 green peppers, 4 tomatoes, 4 cucumbers, a head a cabbage, 2 heads of lettuce, 2 boxes of green beans, 3 squash, and 2 onions.
All of the vegetables are popular ones in our house. My husband immediately claimed the cucumbers and one of the onions and made his favorite cucumber onion salad.
I looked at the huge cabbage and tried to figure out what to do with it. I’ve been making my Korean beef tacos a lot over the last month so I wanted to make something different.
My husband loves coleslaw so I went looking for a cole slaw recipe to make for him. I don’t normally eat cole slaw so I wanted one that he would be happy to eat.
To Make the Cole Slaw: Combine the cabbage, carrots, and onion in a large bowl. Set aside.
To Make the Dressing: In a medium bowl mix together the mayonnaise, sour cream, sugar, vinegar, celery seed, celery salt, and dry mustard. Mix well.
I found a recipe from Bobby Flay. I’ve actually made it a few times before and my husband really enjoyed it so I knew it would be one that he’d be happy to eat for several days.
It doesn’t have much sugar in it which was a huge selling point. My husband isn’t big on sugar in his savory foods. He also likes the balance of the sour cream and mayonnaise in this recipe.
This cole slaw also has a lot of great seasonings in it which gives it a good flavor. I mixed up the head of cabbage, one of the onions, and a few carrots that I had in the refrigerator. I tossed the whole thing with the dressing and put it in the refrigerator.
Directions. Combine the shredded cabbage and carrots in a large bowl. Whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, onion, sugar, vinegar, mustard, celery salt, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl, and then add to the cabbage mixture. Mix well to combine and taste for seasoning; add more salt, pepper, or sugar if desired.
Can I use bagged cole slaw mix?
You can use already chopped up cabbage and carrots in a bagged cole slaw mix if you are running short on time. However, it’s always best to use fresh cabbage and carrots to get the best flavor.
Can I use just mayonnaise or just sour cream?
You could just use mayonnaise in the dressing recipe but I wouldn’t use just the sour cream. The mayonnaise is the base of the dressing because of the flavor. I really do like the combination of the mayo and the sour cream together but it’s not necessary.
