Here's a mayonnaise based creamy cole slaw that's not too sweet and a few little tweaks to make it really special. Hash it and heap it on top of a pulled pork sandwich as they do in Memphis or the Carolinas.
Yield. 8 servings Preparation time. 15 minutes Ignore it. At least 1 hour in the fridge if possible
Ingredients for the slaw
1 pound green cabbage (about half a medium cabbage)
1 large carrot, peeled
1 small white onion
Option. 1/2 red or green bell pepper, sliced thin or hashed. Option. 3 radishes, red or white, hot if you like, sliced thin or hashed. Option. 1 small minced jalapeno if you like it hot. Chipotle poder is another way to amp it up.
Ingredients for the dressing 1 tablespoon distilled vinegar
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons white sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon celery seeds (not celery salt)
Option. 2 tablespoons sour cream.
Do this
1) First, read my article on The Zen of Slawsome Slaw. Then decide how you want to cut the cabbage, carrot, and onion: Chopped, grated, or hashed and have at it. Set them aside. I prefer this recipe shredded or chopped.
2) Whisk together the dressing in a large bowl. Add the cabbage, carrot, and onion. Cover, taste, and adjust seasonings. Chill for at least 1 hour if possible.
