Copycat Bojangles Coleslaw Recipe
Description
Finely chopped cabbage and carrots in a creamy, sweet, and tangy dressing, just like the Bojangles fixin'. Ready in 10 minutes, better after a few hours in the fridge.
Ingredients
- 1 small head green cabbage, about 8 cups finely chopped
- 1 medium carrot, finely grated
- 2 tablespoons grated onion
- 3/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup buttermilk
- 3 tablespoons white vinegar
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon celery seed, optional
Instructions
- Cut the cabbage into chunks and pulse in a food processor until finely chopped. Transfer to a large bowl with the grated carrot and onion.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, buttermilk, white vinegar, sugar, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and celery seed until smooth.
- Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and stir until fully coated.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
- Stir, drain any excess liquid, and serve cold.
Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- Whisk
Notes
- For the closest texture to Bojangles, chop the cabbage very fine, about the size of rice grains.
- Taste after chilling and adjust with a pinch more sugar or a splash of vinegar.
- Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Do not freeze.
