Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 1 (16-ounce) package coleslaw mix
- 1/2 sweet onion, finely diced
- 1 cup finely chopped dill pickles
Dressing
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons pickle juice
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (or more to taste)
Instructions
- Prepare the dressing: In a large bowl, combine finely diced sweet onion, chopped dill pickles, mayonnaise, pickle juice, dried dill, garlic powder, and salt. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated to form a creamy and tangy dressing.
- Add coleslaw mix: Add the coleslaw mix to the bowl with the dressing. Toss everything together gently but thoroughly to ensure the cabbage and other veggies are evenly coated with the flavorful dressing.
- Refrigerate to meld flavors: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. This resting time allows the flavors to meld and the cabbage to absorb the tangy dressing fully.
- Final seasoning and serve: Before serving, taste the coleslaw and adjust seasoning by adding more salt if necessary. Serve chilled as a perfect side dish for your meals.
Notes
- For extra crunch, add freshly chopped celery or carrots to the coleslaw mix.
- Adjust the amount of pickle juice to your taste for more or less tanginess.
- This coleslaw can be made a day ahead for better flavor infusion.
- Use low-fat or light mayonnaise for a lighter version.
- Keep refrigerated and consume within 3 days for freshness.
