How to Make Angie S Dad S Best Cabbage Coleslaw
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, carrots, celery, and onion.
- Sprinkle 1 cup of sugar (or Splenda) over the vegetables and toss gently to coat evenly.
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, vegetable oil, salt, dry mustard, and black pepper.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
- Remove from heat and immediately pour the hot dressing over the cabbage mixture.
- Toss gently to combine thoroughly.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 24 hours. The coleslaw will improve in flavor if allowed to marinate for longer (up to two weeks).
- Before serving, if the coleslaw has been marinating for several days, taste and adjust seasoning as needed. If overly juicy, drain off some of the excess liquid before serving.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
