Ingredients
Dressing
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 4 teaspoons white vinegar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Salad
- 2 bags shredded cole slaw mix (14 ounce each)
Instructions
- Prepare the dressing: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, white vinegar, granulated sugar, dry mustard, and kosher salt until the mixture becomes smooth and the sugar is dissolved.
- Combine with cole slaw mix: Add the shredded cole slaw mix into the bowl with the dressing. Gently fold the slaw and dressing together using a spatula until all the shredded cabbage and carrots are fully coated with the dressing.
- Chill the cole slaw: Cover the mixture with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight. This allows the flavors to meld and the slaw to become crisp and refreshing.
- Serve: Give the cole slaw a final stir before serving. Enjoy this classic side dish chilled alongside your favorite main courses.
Notes
