Equipment

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 Tbsp. onion (minced)
  • 2 Tbsp. white distilled vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp. granulated sugar
  • ½ tsp. celery seed
  • ¼ tsp. garlic salt
  • ¼ tsp. pepper
  • 1 (14 oz) package of coleslaw mix (or shredded cabbage and carrots)

Instructions

  • Whisk the first 7 ingredients in a large bowl until smooth.
  • Add coleslaw mix or shredded cabbage toss until fully coated.

Notes

  • If you don't have pre-packaged slaw mix, simply shred a head of cabbage and add one shredded carrot to create your own. 
  • Store leftovers in refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Keep coleslaw cold at all times to avoid spoilage.
