This deli-style cole slaw is a vibrant and refreshing side dish, perfect for summer barbecues, picnics, or any family gathering. With its crisp texture and tangy flavor, it's sure to elevate any meal. The combination of green and red cabbage adds a pop of color to your table, making it as visually appealing as it is delicious!

Ingredients

• 2 heads of green cabbage, shredded
• ½ cup of mayonnaise
• ½ cup of relish
• ⅓ cup of mustard
• 1 tablespoon of celery seed
• ¼ cup of sugar
• ¼ cup of wine vinegar
• ¼ head of red cabbage, chopped

Instructions

1. Start by shredding the green cabbage into thin slices. Mix the shredded cabbage in a large bowl with the chopped red cabbage for a striking color contrast.

🥬 Using a sharp knife or a mandoline will give you uniform pieces, which helps with texture and presentation.

2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, relish, mustard, celery seed, sugar, and wine vinegar until smooth.

🍯 For a zesty kick, consider adding a splash of hot sauce or a teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the dressing!

3. Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss until everything is well coated.

4. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least an hour, or until chilled to around 45 degrees.

❄️ Chilling allows the flavors to meld together, making the slaw even tastier.

Variations

• Creamy Vegan Option: Substitute mayonnaise with a vegan mayo or a blend of blended avocado and lemon juice for a healthier twist. 🥑
• Crunchy Add-ins: For extra texture, toss in some shredded carrots, sliced bell peppers, or chopped apples.
• Herbed Delight: Add fresh herbs such as dill or parsley to the slaw for a burst of freshness!
• Spicy Version: If you prefer a spicy flavor, mix in some sliced jalapeños or a dash of chili powder.

Serve this crisp and tangy cole slaw alongside grilled meats or as a topping for sandwiches or tacos. Its refreshing crunch is bound to impress your guests! Enjoy! 🎉🥗
