Total Time:

Servings:

8-10 servings

Ingredients:

  • 1 bag of shredded cabbage and carrot
  • 6-8 baby dill pickles, shredded
  • 1 cup (130 grams) mayonnaise
  • 3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) white vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) pickle juice
  • 1/4 cup (62 grams) white sugar
  • 2 tablespoons (6 grams) dried dill weed
  • pepper, garlic salt, and parsley to taste

Instructions:

  1. Put shredded cabbage in a large serving bowl.
  2. Shred 6-8 baby dill pickles using a cheese grater. Stir shredded pickles into the bowl of cabbage.
  3. In a small mixing bowl, add mayonnaise, white vinegar, pickle juice, white sugar, herbs, and seasonings to make coleslaw dressing. Whisk together with a fork.
  4. When fully incorporated, pour dressing over cabbage mixture and stir well.
  5. Cover with Saran Wrap and place to chill in the fridge for 4 hours.

Notes/Hints:

  • Add more or fewer dill pickles as preferred.
  • Coleslaw can be refrigerated for up to 4 days, as long as it is covered and sealed, either with tight Saran Wrap or cling wrap, or transferred to an airtight Tupperware-style container.
  • Use regular or bagged cabbage. Both options work and taste just the same, though the bagged cabbage saves time.
  • Light mayonnaise works just the same as regular mayonnaise. Use light mayonnaise if preferred.
