Name: Kentucky-Style Vinegar Slaw
Total time: 2 h 10 min
Ingredients: 1 (14-ounce) bag shredded green and red coleslaw mix; 1/2 cup finely chopped onion; 1 carrot, peeled and shredded; 1 cup distilled white vinegar; 1/2 cup sugar; 1 tablespoon vegetable oil; Salt and pepper

Why This Recipe Works

Using preshredded red and green cabbage helps this slaw come together quickly, with shredded carrot added for color and sweetness. A simple dressing of white vinegar, sugar, and oil keeps the slaw light.

Before You Begin

Shred the carrot on the large holes of a box grater.

Instructions

Combine coleslaw mix, onion, and carrot in large bowl. Bring vinegar, sugar, oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper to simmer in small saucepan over medium heat, stirring to dissolve sugar. Once simmering, pour hot vinegar mixture over coleslaw mixture and toss to combine.

Refrigerate until fully chilled and coleslaw mix is wilted, about 2 hours. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve, using slotted spoon.
