Homemade Classic Coleslaw

Sometimes you don’t need to mess with a good thing. And at a summer barbecue, classic coleslaw made by hand is a very good thing. The package of Taylor Farms Tri-color Coleslaw you use here is a blend of fresh, raw green cabbage, red cabbage, and carrot, all shredded to that size that makes for a great batch of coleslaw.

Whether you’re adding this coleslaw to a pulled pork sandwich, scooping it onto crispy fish tacos, or serving a big bowl of it at dinner or a potluck, this is a tried-and-true recipe that won’t catch anyone off guard.

Traditionally, cole slaw is as it looks above, a shredded cabbage salad with roots in Western Europe. But really, the word
slaw can apply to all sorts of shredded salads, all of which do well even after sitting for a few hours without descending into a soggy mess. With slaws like this one, a little time alone lets the flavors meld together beautifully. Broccoli slaw, carrot slaw, fennel slaw, or a mix of any of these hardy vegetables can make for a tasty side dish or topping. Try the above vinaigrette dressing recipe and see how it comes out!
