The Best Sweet and Tangy Coleslaw

This coleslaw recipe was given to us by Nadia. For those of you who don’t know who Nadia is, she is Nancy’s sister and Franca’s daughter. A big thanks to Nadia for sharing with us her recipe (which she got from her husband’s side of the family… lol)

This colourful veggie dish, along with the perfect balance of sweet and tangy dressing, is so easy, simple, and quick to make. It’s a great make-ahead side dish for summer barbecues and potlucks! It pairs up so well with baby back spare ribs, pulled pork,

BBQ steaks, grilled chicken and so many more.

Since this dressing is made with white vinegar (which is a great pickling agent) any leftover coleslaw is best stored in mason jars and can be kept for up to 2 weeks in refrigerator. You may have to drain some of the liquid.

INGREDIENTS: Prep time: 30 minutes

Serves 20

1 medium size cabbage (shredded)

1 large red onion (diced)

2 celery stalks (chopped)

1 cup (approx 100 g) grated carrots

1 cup (200 g) sugar

1 cup (235 ml) white vinegar

3/4 cup (approx 180 ml) vegetable oil

1 tbsp (approx 18 g) salt

1 tbsp (approx 9 g) dry mustard

1/2 tsp (approx 1-2 g) black pepper

Stainless steel bowl or high temperature glass bowl

DO NOT USE A PLASTIC BOWL AS THIS RECIPE CALLS FOR BOILED HOT DRESSING

DIRECTIONS:

1) Prep cabbage: cut the cabbage in quarters. Remove the core. Using a sharp knife (or mandolin) slice the cabbage thin, but yet not too thin - about 1/8”(0.3cm).Set aside.

2) Peel, rinse & pat dry the carrots. Grate them by using the large holes on the box grater. Set aside.

3) Peel & dice the red onion. Set aside.

4) Rinse, pat dry and chop the celery. Set aside.

5) In a very large stainless steel bowl, (or high temperature glass bowl), combine the cabbage, onions, carrots & celery. Pour the sugar. Toss well. Set aside.
