Easy Coleslaw

This easy, creamy coleslaw recipe is so good and makes the perfect side dish for picnics and barbecues!

A few weeks ago, I shared a chicken dinner recipe that has been on repeat quite a bit at our house recently, and as promised, today I am sharing the easy coleslaw recipe that I serve with it. You can have this coleslaw as a side dish on its own or add some on top of a barbecue chicken sandwich like I do… so delicious. There’s something about this cool, creamy coleslaw recipe that just screams summer to me, and I make it all the time to serve at picnics or with anything we cook on the grill. I think homemade coleslaw is much tastier than what you can buy at the store, and I think once you try this easy recipe you’ll enjoy it as much as we do!

A few notes about the recipe…

Once you make the coleslaw, you’ll want to let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 2-3 hours to allow the flavors in the dressing to combine. You can also make this a day ahead, and the coleslaw will stay nice and crisp.

I think the celery seed is what makes this recipe, but you can start by adding only 1/2 teaspoon and add more to taste, if desired.

And just in case you are still on the fence about trying this recipe, I should probably mention that when I shared it here the first time over five years ago now, it quickly became and still is today my 4th most popular blog post of all time. It was worth sharing again for all of you who weren’t reading my blog that long ago!

EASY COLESLAW

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  •  1 tablespoon celery seed
  • 1 tablespoon grated onion
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 14-16 ounce bag shredded cabbage with carrots
  • 1 carrot, peeled and grated

In a large bowl combine the shredded cabbage and grated carrots. In another bowl, combine the mayonnaise, vinegar, mustard, sugar, celery seed, grated onion, and salt. Pour the mixture over the cabbage and toss until fully coated with the dressing. You may want to reserve a small amount of the dressing until you mix the coleslaw together and see if the entire amount is needed. Refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours before serving and up to 2 days.

I hope you enjoy this recipe! Let me know what you think in the comments below!

    This is very much like the recipe I concocted, but I don’t have the mustard in mine, and I do add buttermilk to the consistency I desire and use olive oil mayonnaise. I do think it’s the celery seed, for sure…yummy!

    I have to thank you for this wonderful and simple recipe. Every time I bring it to a function I get several requests for the recipe! 1 tsp of the celery seed is perfect. I think the grated onion is what makes this soooo tasty!

    This recipe is awesome, easy amd dairy free. I add about a half teaspoon of fennel seeds to mine which my friends love.

The perfect example of design on a budget. I feel The perfect example of design on a budget. I feel like kids go through so many phases of what they do and don’t like as they get older, and we’re often changing the boys’ bedrooms to make them function better as they grow out of each phase (way too quickly, I might add 🥺).

I’m a big believer in teaching kids to be mindful of taking care of their belongings and their home from the time they are little, which is why I don’t worry so much about light colored couches in the living room or white walls throughout the house. BUT kids are also kids, and I design their bedrooms with a much more frugal budget so that if anything gets old & worn or needs to be replaced/repurposed... I don’t sweat the money that was spent!

In this room we used inexpensive pieces from IKEA, Target and Walmart to create a cozy teenage boy’s room, but it definitely doesn’t skimp on style. We’re planning a little makeover again in this room soon, and I’m excited to show you what we have up our sleeves for my now 15 year old... good grief, where does the time go?

A weird side angle of the living room as proof tha A weird side angle of the living room as proof that a giant TV does in fact exist in here, and we are just a normal family who loves movie nights snuggled up on the couch with the dog & football Sundays with all the yummy food during the game (one benefit of having an open concept living/dining room). I purposely placed the TV in a spot where it isn’t the main focal point of the room and designed the space to draw your eye to other much prettier things like the big picture window just to the left of this photo.

Want to try something like this in your living room? See if you can arrange the furniture so the TV isn’t the main focal point in the room, but still has visibility from the majority of your seating. Try making the focus a fireplace, window, or create a gallery wall with pretty artwork if you don’t have any standout architectural elements!

Just a little tidbit of advice I’ve learned & loved & wanted to pass along... Happy Monday, sweet friends!

A little bit of work & a whole lot of relaxing wit A little bit of work & a whole lot of relaxing with my favorite humans this weekend. I have some fun things to share with you on the blog this week & several house projects going on (the dining & living room are looking SO good!!), but I need to recharge and spend some quality time doing my most important job on this Earth... taking care of my people. 🤍

What are your plans for the weekend? Whatever they are, I hope you have a chance to laugh, rest, eat something delicious, and enjoy a little sunshine (even if it’s sitting indoors because it’s very brrrr outside)!

Quite possibly my favorite view in the house. And Quite possibly my favorite view in the house. And also quite possibly the best place for morning snuggles, second cups of coffee, and the occasional Netflix binge. This room was “shiplapped” over 5 years ago now, but it has never felt like a passing fad or overly trendy with a mix of other vintage & traditional elements in the room. These big, wide planks have my whole heart just as much as the day we installed them back in 2015.

What’s your opinion on shiplap? In? Out? Vertical? Horizontal? Focal wall or the entire room? I’d love to hear your thoughts!

NEW! THE ARMSTRONG HOUSE LIVING ROOM REVEAL Last NEW! THE ARMSTRONG HOUSE LIVING ROOM REVEAL

Last time I shared an update on Mom’s house, I had just revealed the completed renovation, and you were able to see all the freshly painted white walls, new carpet & flooring, and a very stark blank canvas. We intentionally made this space light, bright, & neutral since 1) it’s a rental home, and we want it to appeal to a variety of styles. And 2) it’s VERY small, so the light paint makes it feel much more open & spacious than dark paint would! But all those white walls were in desperate need of a warm, cozy touch, and that’s exactly what Mom and I did…
