Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1 | Cabbage |
| 1 | Onion |
| 2 | Carrots |
| 3/4 | Cup Cider Vinegar |
| 1 | Cup Sugar |
Instructions:
-
Preparation: Begin by gathering your ingredients and equipment. Wash the cabbage, onion, and carrots thoroughly. Peel the carrots and remove any outer leaves from the cabbage.
-
Chop and Toss: Finely shred the cabbage using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer. Slice the onion thinly. Grate or julienne the carrots. In a large bowl, toss together the shredded cabbage, sliced onion, and grated carrots until evenly combined.
-
Prepare Dressing: In a small saucepan, combine the cider vinegar and sugar over medium heat. Stir well until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture comes to a gentle boil.
-
Combine Ingredients: Once the dressing is ready, carefully pour it over the vegetables in the large bowl. Use a spoon or spatula to ensure all the vegetables are coated evenly with the dressing.
-
Marinate: Give the coleslaw mixture a gentle toss to ensure the dressing is distributed throughout. Allow the flavors to meld by letting the coleslaw sit at room temperature for approximately 1 and 1/2 hours. This step allows the vegetables to absorb the tangy-sweet dressing.
-
Chill: After marinating, give the coleslaw one final toss to redistribute the dressing. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the coleslaw overnight. Chilling the coleslaw overnight allows the flavors to intensify and the vegetables to become even more crisp and refreshing.
-
Serve: When ready to serve, give the coleslaw a quick toss to freshen it up. Scoop generous portions onto plates or into bowls, and enjoy the crisp, tangy goodness of this Refrigerator Coleslaw as a refreshing side dish or a topping for sandwiches, burgers, or tacos.
-
Storage: Any leftover coleslaw can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Be sure to give it a good stir before serving leftovers to redistribute the dressing.
