MEMPHIS-STYLE COLESLAW

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the cabbage, green bell pepper and carrots; set aside. In a small bowl, mix together the rest of the ingredients and stir until fully incorporated. Pour over the cabbage mix and toss until evenly coated. Chill in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours before serving. Will keep for about 3 days in the fridge.

CLASSIC COLESLAW

Steps:

• Remove and discard tough outer leaves from the green cabbage. Cut the head in half, cutting through the core. Use the tip of the knife to remove the core from both halves, then cut each half into quarters. Slice each quarter thinly into short strips. Repeat with the red cabbage and place both in a large bowl.
• Whisk together the mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar and celery seeds in a small bowl, then season with salt and pepper. Add more sugar as desired. Toss the cabbage with half the dressing, then lay in a shallow dish (a 9-by-13-inch baking dish works well). Cover and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.
• Once cabbage has marinated in the dressing, taste and add reserved dressing as desired. Add the carrots and parsley and toss to combine.

TRADITIONAL CREAMY COLESLAW

• Whisk mayonnaise, sugar, rice wine vinegar, lemon juice, horseradish, onion powder, dry mustard, celery salt, salt, and black pepper in a large mixing bowl, stirring to dissolve sugar. Fold coleslaw mix into dressing. Cover bowl and refrigerate 1 hour before serving.

MEMPHIS STYLE MUSTARD COLESLAW RECIPE

Steps:

• Combine prepared vegetables (cabbage, carrot, jalepeño, and onion) and salt together in a strainer over the sink.
• Let sit at least 15 minutes (1-2 hours is better) to drain. This keeps the finished slaw from being nasty and watery.
• Rinse the vegetables under cold water and let dry. In a bowl or plastic bag, place in the refrigerator until ready to use, up to one day.
• To make dressing, combine mustards, vinegar, chili sauce, mayonnaise, sour cream (or Greek yogurt), and sugar in a medium, non-reactive saucepan. Bring to a boil. Add celery seed. Reduce heat and simmer about 3-5 minutes, until sugar has dissolved.
• Cool to room temperature. Pour over veggies in a large serving bowl. Mix well.
• Refrigerate at least an hour before serving. Perfect on a Memphis barbeque pulled pork sandwich.
