There's something magical about a good coleslaw dressing, and this Tangy Honey Mustard version hits all the right notes. It's got the perfect balance of sweet and tangy, making it a great addition to any meal. Whether you're serving it at a summer barbecue or alongside a winter roast, this dressing will elevate your coleslaw game.
Mayonnaise serves as the creamy base of the dressing, giving it a smooth texture that coats your veggies beautifully. Apple cider vinegar adds a pleasant tanginess that cuts through the richness of the mayo. Dijon mustard introduces a sharp, slightly spicy flavor, while honey balances everything out with its natural sweetness. Celery seed brings a subtle earthy note and slight crunch to the mix. Finally, a pinch of salt and ground black pepper enhances all the flavors, bringing them together in harmony.
This Tangy Honey Mustard Coleslaw Dressing is a match made in heaven with freshly shredded cabbage and carrots. It’s also fantastic as a spread on sandwiches or wraps. Consider pairing it with grilled chicken or fish for a light and refreshing meal. It’s versatile enough to complement a wide range of dishes, so feel free to get creative!
Start by grabbing a medium-sized bowl and your trusty whisk. Measure out the mayonnaise and add it to the bowl, followed by the apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, and honey. Whisk these ingredients together until you achieve a smooth, uniform consistency.
Next, sprinkle in the celery seed, salt, and black pepper. Stir everything together until the spices are well distributed throughout the dressing. At this point, I like to give it a quick taste — you can adjust the seasoning if you feel it needs a little more zing or sweetness.
Once you're happy with the flavor, cover the bowl with some plastic wrap or transfer the dressing to an airtight container. Pop it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld together beautifully. Trust me, it's worth the wait.
