Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Grater or food processor
  • Tongs or spoon
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons
  • Paper towels or clean cloth

Ingredients

  • ⅓ cup mayonnaise
  • ⅓ cup Dijon mustard
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp hot sauce
  • 1 tbsp celery seeds
  • 1 green cabbage
  • 1 carrot
  • ⅔ cup sugar
  • ⅓ cup Kosher salt

Instructions

  • Prepare the Dressing: Start by whisking together the mayo, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, hot sauce, and celery seeds in a small bowl. Whisk until smooth and creamy, and set aside.
  • Prepare the Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage and carrots. Add the sugar and kosher salt to the veggies, and toss them gently to coat evenly.
  • Let the Vegetables Rest: Allow the veggies to sit for about 5 minutes. You’ll notice some water will accumulate at the bottom of the bowl. This is normal! Just drain off the excess water and give the vegetables a quick pat dry with a paper towel.
  • Combine the Dressing and Vegetables: Pour the creamy dressing over the cabbage and carrot mixture. Use a spoon or tongs to toss everything together until well combined.
  • Refrigerate: Cover the coleslaw and let it chill in the fridge for at least one hour. For the best flavor, let it sit for a full day before serving.
  • Serve and Enjoy: Once chilled, your Zaxby’s-inspired coleslaw is ready to be served! Enjoy it as a side dish to your favorite meal.

Tips

  • Chill the coleslaw for best results: The longer the coleslaw sits, the more the flavors develop. For the best taste, let it chill for at least 3 hours or even overnight.
  • Adjust the sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter coleslaw, feel free to add a little more sugar. Adjust to your personal taste!
  • Add extra veggies: Feel free to experiment by adding other veggies, like bell peppers or red cabbage, for a pop of color and flavor.
