Description
A tangy, creamy coleslaw dressing made with mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, and mustard. Perfect for binding shredded cabbage and carrots into a refreshing side dish for picnics or barbecues.
Ingredients
Mayonnaise 1 cup (full-fat for best texture)
Distilled white vinegar 1/3 cup (or apple cider vinegar)
Sugar 1/4 cup (granulated or brown)
Yellow mustard 1 tablespoon
Garlic, minced 1 teaspoon (optional)
Salt 1/2 teaspoon (adjust to taste)
Instructions
Combine mayonnaise, vinegar, mustard, garlic, and salt in a medium bowl.
Gradually add sugar while whisking continuously until fully dissolved.
Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving to let flavors meld.
Notes
Use room-temperature mayonnaise for smoother blending.
For dairy-free version, substitute mayonnaise with full-fat Greek yogurt.
Let dressing chill for at least 2 hours before serving.
Stir dressing into coleslaw 15 minutes before serving to avoid sogginess.
