The BEST Coleslaw Dressing is creamy and tangy, takes just 2 minutes and uses ingredients you’ve already got at home. It’s budget-friendly, fridge-friendly and guaranteed to make even humble cabbage taste like the hero of the table. Perfect for barbecues, weeknight dinners or meal prep wins.

  • Total Time: 2 minutes
  • Yield: Makes 1 cup dressing (serves 6–8 with slaw)

Ingredients

Scale
  • ⅔ cup (160 g) whole-egg mayonnaise (see note 1 about dairy and gluten)
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp dijon mustard (see note 2 about gluten)
  • 1 tsp white sugar (can be substituted with honey)
  • ½ tsp sea salt flakes
  • ¼ tsp freshly cracked black pepper, plus extra to serve

Instructions

  1. Combine all the ingredients in a small bowl or jar.
  2. Whisk (or shake if using a jar) until smooth and creamy.
  3. Toss with shredded vegetables just before serving.

Notes

Note 1 – Mayonnaise is generally dairy- and gluten-free, but always check the label to be 100% sure.

Note 2 – Mustard is generally gluten-free, but always check the label to be 100% sure.

 

MAKE AHEAD

  • The dressing can be made up to 7 days in advance and stored in a sealed jar in the fridge.
  • For crunch, keep the shredded vegetables separate until right before serving.

LEFTOVERS

  • Dressing on its own – Keeps in the fridge for up to 7 days.
  • Dressed coleslaw – Best eaten within 24 hours (after that it gets a bit soggy, but still tasty for wraps or sandwiches). Not suitable for freezing.
