I like this recipe because it’s super easy to throw together and it offers a refreshing alternative to creamy mayonnaise-based coleslaw.

This salad also has a nice tanginess to it that I find pairs exceptionally well with barbecue-style dishes, such as Twice-Baked BBQ Tofu and BBQ Baked Beans.

For the cabbage, use whatever color you like for this recipe. I used green cabbage mainly because that’s what I had on hand but I think red, or half red/half green would also be pretty.

Pro Tip: Make quick work of shredding the cabbage by using a mandoline or food processor. Or save even more prep time by using pre-shredded cabbage.

Ingredients for Oil and Vinegar Coleslaw

  • 8 cups cabbage, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup white vinegar
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon creamy Dijon mustard

How to Make Oil and Vinegar Coleslaw

STEP ONE: In a small bowl or measuring cup combine the vinegar and oil.

STEP TWO: Add the garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and Dijon mustard. Whisk to thoroughly combine, then set aside.

STEP THREE: Into a large bowl, add the shredded cabbage.

STEP FOUR: Pour the oil and vinegar dressing over the cabbage and toss to coat. Adjust seasoning to taste.

STEP FIVE: Refrigerate until chilled then serve cold.

Storage

Leftover coleslaw can be stored, covered, in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Beyond that, the flavor is still good but the salad begins to lose its crunch.

    Easy recipe but not a fan of the Dijon in this recipe and too much garlic. I added some sugar too

      Yes, this is a savory coleslaw. For a sweeter option, you may prefer this Classic Coleslaw
