The Best Homemade Creamy Coleslaw, Ready in 5 minutes!

Today I'm going to show you how to make this creamy coleslaw with plenty of crunch.
There's no need to buy a big tub of coleslaw with an annoyingly short expiration date when you can whip up a perfect sized batch of homemade coleslaw in 5 minutes.
So good as a side for summer barbecues and lazy lunches, or as a topping for pulled pork and crispy chicken burgers.
Full recipe including hints and tips here: www.kitchensan...
Ingredients for the Coleslaw:
1/2 a large (or 1 medium) white cabbage
2 medium carrots - peeled
1/4 brown onion - peeled
1 cup (240g) mayonnaise
3 tbsp sour cream
1 tbsp white wine vinegar
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp sugar - granulated or superfine
1/8 tsp mustard powder
Pinch white pepper

Yes, but soak the red cabbage in water a few times (like you would do rice), and it will get rid of a good bit of the red so it won't bleed into the slaw juices. Then once dried off, use some salt to help draw the water out. Both steps will help the slaw from getting too watery.

"Sweat" the slaw in advance to draw out the water, and if the carrots or red cabbage is soaked in water in advance, it will drain the colors so it won't bleed into the slaw later.

@@veronicamoorman1618*Edit... if you have already added any carrots or red cabbage to your slaw yes*I will sweat the slaw separately and soak the red cabbage and carrots in water and then pat those dry before adding them to the slaw. sorry, but salt the cabbage a little bit and place it in a colander. You will see the water start to run right out and the color, in just a few minutes.

@@Kman. I think you are saying salt the cabbage after you shred it then you soak the cabbage and carrots then you rinse and drain before adding other ingredients...correct?

[@Kman.]

@@veronicamoorman1618 I keep the red cabbage and carrots separate and soak them in water by themselves. I sought the regular cabbage after it has been shredded. I then combine everything, of course after the red cabbage and carrots are dried off with a towel or by whatever other means, then put everything together together including the seasonings, sour cream, mayo or whatever else you may use.

Restarted from scratch (thank goodness I still had 1/2 a cabbage) and made it without the onions and added 1/2 teaspoon of sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla. It passed muster...

Can this be done without sugar ? or will that ruin the taste?

[@dragons8822]

This needs less mayo & sour cream, yogurt could always be substituted for the sour cream, & more onion. Once this sauce is mixed it needs to be thined out so it's not so gaggingly thick. Having a thick sauce takes away from the taste of the vegies, the sauce is only meant to "accent Not overshadow" the vegies.

Rather than adding your ingredients individually into your cabbage mixture, start with a separate smaller bowl and add a very small amount of horseradish mixed together with your Mayo, sour cream or yogurt and seasonings...and keep adjusting until you get the taste you're wanting. Also, I didn't use vinegar. Hope this helps!
