Quick Pickled Slaw
Say hello to your new favorite healthy slaw recipe with just the right amount of crunch. Fresh veggies meet a mildly acidic dressing in this 15-minute slaw recipe.
Permanent Slaw
Permanent Slaw gets its name from the time it takes for the apple cider vinegar dressing to soak into the fresh, thinly sliced vegetables. The longer it sits, the better it gets.
Pineapple-Pepper Slaw
Fresh pineapple is a great ingredient to incorporate in staple recipes. We love the mixture of sweet pineapple paired with the acidity from the lime juice and the spice of the jalape?o chile in this recipe.
South Carolina Slaw
Every Carolinian knows that hometown slaw is dressed with vinegar, not mayo. This recipe uses apple cider vinegar and two types of mustard, swapping creaminess for a tangy and sweet coleslaw that goes great with Carolina-style barbecue.
Tangy Rainbow Slaw
When it comes to slaw, we're crazy about cabbage and all its colorful, crunchy (not to mention nutritious) potential. Sesame oil, rice vinegar, and roasted peanuts dress this colorful slaw for a side that just might steal the show.
Buttermilk Coleslaw
A lot of coleslaws get their tang from vinegar, and while this recipe includes some, it has added zing from cultured buttermilk too.
Classic Coleslaw
With a traditional mayonnaise base (Duke's, of course), pieces of cabbage, carrot, and Vidalia onion, and a touch of sugar (plus a good bit of cider vinegar to balance it out), this slaw recipe is as classic as they come.
Sweet Potato-And-Cabbage Slaw
