Dressing

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Mix the dressing ingredients together.

  2. Step 2: Place the cabbage and carrot in a bowl. Pour the dressing over them and toss well. Set aside for at least 20 minutes before serving, preferably 2 hours. This softens the cabbage and draws moisture from the cabbage and carrot to thin the dressing. Overnight is even better.

Notes

Keep dressed coleslaw refrigerated for up to 5 days. It is terrific for 2 days and still very good on day 3.

To prepare ahead, refrigerate the shredded cabbage and carrot in a sealed bag with excess air squeezed out for up to 5 days. Store the dressing separately and toss it with the vegetables before serving.

Green cabbage is the classic choice. Red cabbage, savoy cabbage, and Napa cabbage can also be used; red cabbage may bleed color slightly.
