Ingredients
- 1 medium green cabbage, shredded
- 1 large carrot, grated
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
- ½ cup chopped red bell pepper
- ½ cup chopped green bell pepper
- ¾ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sugar (or more if you like it sweet, like my Aunt Laverne’s secret stash)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: a handful of chopped fresh parsley for that dash of fancy
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, grated carrot, sliced red onion, and both chopped bell peppers. Make it colorful—nobody wants a boring salad!
- In a separate bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper. Give it a good whisk until it’s as smooth as your favorite jazz playlist.
- Pour that creamy concoction over your colorful veggies and toss everything together. Get in there and mix it up like you’re a DJ at a dance party!
- Cover the bowl and let it chill in the fridge overnight. This allows the flavors to mingle, like old friends reminiscing over good times.
- The next day, give your slaw a good stir. If it seems too dry, add a tad more mayo or vinegar. Taste it again – is it good? Throw in some salt and pepper if needed. Remember, it’s all about finding that perfect balance!
- Serve it up cold, and watch it disappear faster than you can say “seconds please!” Trust us, your fridge will thank you!
And there you have it – your very own spectacular overnight slaw! Perfect for BBQs, picnics, and even as a side with your favorite winter soup. Enjoy, and don’t forget to give yourself a small pat on the back for culinary greatness!
