I was so sad when this disappeared from the menu, but this recipe brings that signature flavor right into your kitchen. It is the perfect balance of sweet and tangy, and it makes a wonderful side for fried chicken or any summer barbecue.

Make sure to let the slaw sit in the fridge for at least two hours before you serve it. This gives the flavors time to meld together, and it softens the cabbage just the right amount for that classic texture.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 4 teaspoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 16 ounces finely shredded cabbage with carrots

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sugar, lemon juice, vinegar, salt, and dry mustard until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

  2. 2

    Add the shredded cabbage and carrots to the bowl.

  3. 3

    Use a large spoon or tongs to toss the cabbage in the dressing until every piece is well coated.

  4. 4

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least two hours so the flavors can develop.

  5. 5

    Stir the coleslaw one more time right before you serve it to make sure the dressing is perfectly mixed.

💡 Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. This coleslaw is delicious when served on top of a spicy chicken sandwich or as a side for grilled ribs.
