Ingredients
-
1/2 cup mayonnaise
-
1/4 cup sour cream
-
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
-
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
-
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
-
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
-
1 bag (16 ounces) coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots)
Instructions
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, apple cider vinegar, sugar, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth.
-
Stir in the chopped fresh dill.
-
Add the coleslaw mix to the bowl and toss well to coat evenly with the dressing.
-
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. This also allows the coleslaw to slightly soften.
-
Stir again before serving.
Notes
Variations: Add a tablespoon of lemon juice for extra tang. For a sweeter coleslaw, increase the sugar to 2 tablespoons. You can also add a finely diced apple for extra crunch and sweetness.
Tips: Make the coleslaw a few hours in advance to allow the flavors to fully develop. If the coleslaw seems too dry after chilling, add a little more mayonnaise or sour cream to reach the desired consistency.
Allergies/Intolerances: This recipe contains dairy (sour cream, mayonnaise). Use dairy-free alternatives for a dairy-free version. Mayonnaise often contains eggs; use an egg-free mayonnaise substitute for those with egg allergies.
Taste Preferences: Adjust the sugar, vinegar, and dill according to your preference. Some people prefer a tangier coleslaw, while others prefer a sweeter one. Start with the recommended amounts and adjust as needed.
