Capture the crisp, fresh flavors of the ocean with this Legal Seafood Style Coleslaw, a classic side dish inspired by coastal dining. Made with finely shredded green cabbage and sweet, vibrant carrots, this coleslaw is brought to life with a creamy, tangy dressing featuring mayonnaise, white vinegar, a touch of sugar, and a sprinkle of celery seed for a distinctive twist. Quick and easy to prepare in just 20 minutes, this no-cook recipe is refrigerated to let the flavors harmonize, creating the perfect crunchy complement to seafood, barbecue, or fried chicken. Whether served at a summer cookout or alongside fish and chips, this restaurant-inspired coleslaw is bound to impress.
Core the green cabbage and finely shred it using a sharp knife, mandoline slicer, or food processor until you yield approximately 6 cups.
Peel and grate the carrots until you have 1 cup of shredded carrot. Combine the shredded cabbage and carrot in a large mixing bowl.
In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, white vinegar, granulated sugar, celery seed, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper to make a smooth dressing.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrot mixture. Using tongs or a large spoon, toss the vegetables thoroughly until evenly coated with the dressing.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the coleslaw for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, give the coleslaw another quick toss and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Serve chilled as a side dish to complement seafood, barbecue, or fried chicken.
