My grandmother was a phenomenal cook. I still dream of her homemade apple cakes with caramel butterscotch icing, fresh strawberry cakes, Santa Claus whisker cookies, old fashioned green beans, spaghetti sauce with cloves (who knew?) - the list goes on and on. She was one of those women who was a chef before her time and should have opened a restaurant with all of her "good eats" but never had the chance to. This homemade coleslaw recipe is made with just a few simple ingredients and yet it is so much better than those soupy coleslaw containers that you find at most grocery stores. It can be served with mac & cheese or atop a BBQ sandwich - either way it has just the right amount of vinegar and just enough mayonnaise that you can actually taste the cabbage and carrots.
You Will Need:
- 1 medium carrot
- 1/2 head of cabbage
- 2 Tbsp light mayonaise (my gramma definitely did not use light mayo but I did)
- 2 Tbsp sugar
- 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
- Salt & pepper to taste
Here We Go:
- Grate carrot over medium sized bowl using a microplane (pictured here) or box grater
- Grate cabbage over bowl and mix ingredients together
- Add mayonaise, sugar, apple cider vinegar and salt & pepper
- Stir all ingredients together
Serves 2-4 as a sideHappy Feasting!
