Bright, crunchy coleslaw is a handy side dish for so many meals, from summer cookout menus to winter’s braised meats. It’s wild that store-bought coleslaw dressing is popular since homemade salad dressing recipes<\/a> are incredibly easy to make. Just gather the ingredients and find a bowl to create this homemade coleslaw dressing! Dressings are easy to customize too. Simply adjust the spices, herbs and seasonings to suit your taste.<\/p>\n This homemade coleslaw dressing recipe tastes fantastic on any\u00a0coleslaw recipe<\/a>, whether it’s a traditional\u00a0creamy coleslaw<\/a> made with cabbage and carrots or a fun blend of raw produce, like radishes, broccoli, apples or raspberries.<\/p>\n You could also use homemade coleslaw dressing in your favorite green salad recipes<\/a> or as\u00a0a base for\u00a0cold salad recipes<\/a> like chicken salad. It is thick enough to spread on a tasty sandwich for extra zip or to serve as a tangy dip alongside crinkled potato chips or veggies on a crudites platter<\/a>.<\/p>\n In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sugar, cider vinegar, celery seed, salt, pepper and ground mustard until blended.<\/p>\n Store leftover homemade coleslaw dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator. For the freshest flavor, we suggest storing the dressing separate from the coleslaw veggies, though you can also store dressed coleslaw in the fridge.<\/p>\n In the refrigerator, the coleslaw dressing recipe keeps for up to five days. Leftover dressed coleslaw keeps for up to three days, but it may get a bit soggy as it sits.<\/p>\n Coleslaw is fresh, bright and crunchy, so it can be served with a variety of main dishes. It’s a classic cookout side dish for burgers, brats and hot dogs. It can liven up fried food, like crispy fish tacos<\/a> or fried chicken<\/a>, and cool down fiery barbecue recipes<\/a>, like pulled pork or ribs. Because sturdy cabbage can be tossed with dressing for several hours without wilting, coleslaw is an excellent make-ahead side dish for a crowd<\/a>.<\/p>\n Many salad dressings contain sugar to balance the savory oil and acidic vinegar. Sugar also draws out the sweetness of vegetables like lettuce and cabbage, which is specifically beneficial in coleslaw. Cabbages can taste a tad bitter, and the sweet dressing smooths out that too-strong edge.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Our homemade coleslaw dressing is creamy, tangy, a little bit sweet and a little bit salty.
