Crunchy Coleslaw

The satisfying character of crunchy coleslaw comes from dicing the pieces² as opposed to grading or merely slicing. You may also make this using some red cabbage to add color and improved nutrition. Red tastes the same but has increased antioxidants, potassium, Vitamin A and more Vitamin C.

1 Large head cabbage finely diced

1/3 Cup diced carrot or more

2 Tablespoons onion powder¹

1 Tablespoon garlic powder

1/3 Cup granulated sugar or less

1 Teaspoon salt

1 Teaspoon each of white and black pepper

1/2 Cup whole milk

1/2 Cup Best food mayonnaise

2 Tablespoons red wine vinegar

2 Tablespoons lemon juice

1 Teaspoon tarragon

Peel the carrots. Cabbage and carrots must be finely diced. I do this by hand on a large cutting board but remove the cabbage’s stalk portion by cutting it out.

Pour cabbage and carrot mixture into large stainless steel bowl and stir in other ingredients thoroughly. Correct the seasonings. Cover bowl and refrigerate overnight before serving.

Note:

1. Onion powder is made from oven dried yellow (Spanish) onions.  See here
2. Diced style coleslaw is considered "southern style".
