Ingredients
  

Base Ingredients
  • 14 oz bag pre-shredded coleslaw mix
  • 1/2 cup Miracle Whip
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar or white vinegar if you prefer sharper flavor
  • 1 tbsp sugar adjust to taste
  • 1/2 tsp celery seed optional but adds classic slaw flavor
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
Optional Add-ins
  • 1 –2 tbsp finely diced onion or green onion
  • 1 tsp Dijon or yellow mustard for extra zip
  • 1/2 apple shredded for a hint of sweetness
  • 1 tbsp pickle juice especially if you like a sharper tang

Method
 

Make the dressing
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together Miracle Whip, vinegar, sugar, celery seed, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Mix the slaw
  1. In a large mixing bowl, add the shredded cabbage mix. Pour the dressing over it.
  2. Toss to coat thoroughly until everything is evenly dressed.
  3. Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving (1–2 hours is ideal). This helps the flavors meld and softens the cabbage slightly.
