Ingredients (~8 servings)
- 16 oz coleslaw mix
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 1/2 sweet onion, grated
- 3/4 cup mayo
- 2 Tbsp hot sauce
- 2 Tbsp white vinegar
- 1 Tbsp Cajun seasoning
- 3 Tbsp sugar
- 2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tsp sour cream
- 1 tsp celery salt
- Black pepper to taste
Make the Dressing
In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, hot sauce, vinegar, Cajun seasoning, celery salt, sugar, Dijon mustard, and sour cream until smooth.
Taste and add salt and pepper as needed — the Cajun seasoning already has salt but you may want more depending on the brand.
Prep the Vegetables
Dice the bell pepper and celery into small, uniform pieces so they mix well with the coleslaw.
Use a cheese grater to grate the onion directly into the bowl with the dressing — this prevents losing any of the onion juice.
Add the coleslaw mix and toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated.
Combine and Chill
The coleslaw will look a little dry at first but the vegetables will release moisture as it sits.
Add black pepper to taste and refrigerate for approximately 30 minutes to an hour before serving — this allows the flavors to develop and the vegetables to soften slightly.
The coleslaw keeps in the fridge for 2 to 3 days but is best eaten within 24 hours.
