If you need a quick and easy side for a BBQ sandwich or summer meal, this 5-Minute Coleslaw could be your savior. All you will need are pre-shredded cabbage and a few kitchen staples! This coleslaw has a sweet, tangy dressing that you can whip up in minutes.
5-Minute Coleslaw Ingredients
Since I frequently serve BBQ-style meals in the summer, I add a 14-ounce bag of shredded coleslaw cabbage to the grocery list to have on hand for this recipe. You will also need mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, dried celery seed, salt, pepper and honey.
Preparing the Coleslaw
First, pour the pre-shredded 14 ounces of coleslaw mix or shredded cabbage into a large mixing bowl. Then, in a separate small mixing bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of mayonnaise, 2T apple cider vinegar, 2 tsp Dijon mustard, 1 tsp celery seeds, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp pepper, and 2 T of honey. Now, pour the dressing over the cabbage and combine thoroughly. Serve immediately or store covered in the mixing bowl or serving bowl of your choice until ready to eat!
Tips and Serving Suggestions
- You can easily shred your own cabbage for this recipe if you prefer that to the bagged pre-shredded option. It may take more than 5 minutes to make it if you decide to shred your own, though!
- Although this 5-minute coleslaw is tasty right after it’s prepared, it is also good for 3-5 days if stored, sealed, and in the refrigerator.
- Serve this with any of your favorite BBQ entrées or summer grilled proteins. You may enjoy this 5-Minute Coleslaw with these Easy Oven-Baked Ribs!
