This creamy, tangy coleslaw dressing is quick to make and packed with flavor. Perfect for tossing with shredded cabbage or using as a dip or sandwich spread, it’s a reliable go-to for picnics, BBQs, or everyday meals.

  • Total Time: 2 minutes
  • Yield: 1 cup dressing (6–8 servings)

Ingredients

  • ⅔ cup whole-egg mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon white sugar or honey
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl or jar, combine mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, dijon mustard, sugar (or honey), salt, and pepper.
  2. Whisk or shake until smooth and creamy.
  3. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Use immediately or store in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • Use honey instead of sugar for natural sweetness.
  • Replace half the mayo with Greek yogurt for a lighter version.
  • Add celery salt or paprika for extra flavor depth.
  • Best mixed with coleslaw just before serving to keep it crisp.
  • Use as a creamy sandwich spread or salad dressing, too.
