Instead of being weighed down with a mayonnaise-rich dressing, this recipe creates a light, delightfully tangy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/vinaigrette-coleslaw\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/vinaigrette-coleslaw\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">vinegar coleslaw<\/a>. Its crunchy texture and sweet-tart flavor pair perfectly with rich sausages, grilled meats and hearty braised dishes. This simple German coleslaw recipe comes together in only 15 minutes, but you can make it ahead so it\u2019s ready to eat when you are.<\/p>\n<h2>What makes this coleslaw German?<\/h2>\n<p>Many <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/crunchiest-coleslaw-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/crunchiest-coleslaw-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">coleslaw recipes<\/a> contain cabbage, carrots and mayonnaise, but German coleslaw is slightly different. German coleslaw\u2014sometimes called &#8220;German cabbage salad&#8221; or <em>krautsalat<\/em>\u2014features cabbage tossed in a sweet-tangy dressing. It\u2019s not creamy, and the dressing is prepared without mayonnaise. Instead, shredded cabbage and onions are tossed with a vinegar-based dressing that infuses every bite with a bright, balanced flavor. It\u2019s light and refreshing, and it pairs perfectly with rich sausage and grilled meats.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for German Coleslaw<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1959269\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/German-Coleslaw_THVS23_5681_MR_11_02_23_GermanColeslaw_1.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Cabbage vinegar and other ingredients on a wooden table\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Cabbage:<\/strong>\u00a0German coleslaw recipes traditionally call for white <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-do-you-cook-cabbage\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-do-you-cook-cabbage\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">cabbage<\/a>, which is similar to the common green cabbage found at most grocery stores. If substituting a store-bought coleslaw mix, we recommend angel hair coleslaw. It contains only green cabbage, whereas many other bagged mixes also contain carrots and red cabbage (not typically found in German coleslaw).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Green onions:<\/strong>\u00a0Green onions are milder than other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/types-of-onions\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/types-of-onions\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">types of onions<\/a>, and they contribute the perfect pungency to this flavorful slaw. Finely chopped white or yellow onions are a suitable substitute.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vinegar dressing:<\/strong> We make a boiled dressing with sugar, vinegar, celery seed, salt and canola oil. The hot dressing gently wilts the cabbage so it&#8217;s crisp-tender. White wine vinegar and cider vinegar are fantastic picks for this dressing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Prepare the cabbage mixture<\/h3>\n<p>In a large heatproof bowl, toss together the shredded cabbage and sliced green onions.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Make the vinegar dressing<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1959283\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/German-Coleslaw_THVS23_5681_MR_11_02_23_GermanColeslaw_2_MSedit.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"whisking together the sugar, vinegar, celery seed in a sauce pan\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>In a saucepan, whisk together the sugar, vinegar, celery seed and salt.
