Ingredients for Tangy Slaw
- 1 large head cabbage, cored and finely shredded
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- ½ cup apple cider vinegar
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
How to Make the Best Vinegar Slaw
- Prep the veggies: In a large bowl, toss the shredded cabbage and sliced onion until evenly combined.
- Whisk the dressing: In a separate bowl, whisk together the vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper until the sugar dissolves.
- Combine: Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss gently to coat every strand.
- Chill: Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to let flavors meld. For best results, chill 1–2 hours.
- Serve & enjoy: Give the slaw a final toss before serving alongside grilled meats, burgers, or as a refreshing picnic side.
Tips & Variations
- Make it sweet-tangy: Adjust the sugar or vinegar to your taste—more sugar for sweeter slaw, more vinegar for extra zip.
- Add crunch: Stir in shredded carrots or diced bell peppers for color and texture.
- Spice it up: Sprinkle in a pinch of cayenne pepper or celery seed for an extra flavor boost.
