Equipment
- Large mixing bowl
- Cutting board
- Chef’s knife
- Grater
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Mixing spoon
Ingredients
- 1 medium cabbage finely shredded
- 1 medium carrot grated
- 2/3 cup mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup white vinegar
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, vegetable oil, white vinegar, and sugar until smooth and well-blended.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Mix in salt and pepper with the wet mixture to integrate fully.
- Prepare Vegetables: Using a sharp knife and grater, prepare your cabbage and carrots. Ensure cabbage is finely shredded and carrots are grated to match the texture of Bojangles' coleslaw.
- Mix Everything: Add the shredded cabbage and grated carrot to the dressing. Toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated with the creamy dressing.
- Chill: Refrigerate the coleslaw for at least one hour before serving, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
Notes
- Chill Before Serving: Letting the coleslaw sit in the refrigerator for a few hours will enhance its flavors.
- Balance Your Dressing: Adjust the sugar and vinegar based on your taste preference for a perfect balance of sweetness and tang.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: For the best texture and flavor, use fresh cabbage and carrots.
- Fine Shred the Cabbage: A finer shred mimics the classic Bojangles texture and absorbs the dressing better.
- Keep It Crisp: Don’t let the coleslaw sit out too long at room temperature to maintain its crispness.
