When should I dress my coleslaw?

Dressing your coleslaw is one of the most exciting steps in preparing a perfect coleslaw! Generally, it’s best to add lemon coleslaw dressing right before you’re ready to serve—it will make the cabbage and carrots crisp and vibrant.

For maximum flavor, mix the lemon coleslaw dressing directly with the vegetables. If you’re entertaining guests, why not take things up a notch by adding some extra grated lemon zest to give it an even more tart flavor? The end result will be a remarkably flavorful and colorful dish that everyone will adore.

Difference between cabbage slaw and coleslaw

When it comes to the beloved side dish, coleslaw, most people think they know exactly what they’re getting. But did you know that coleslaw and cabbage slaw is actually two different recipes?

The key difference between them lies in the vegetables. Coleslaw typically refers specifically to a type of salad made with cabbage, whereas slaw can encompass a wider variety of salads made without cabbage, such as beetroot slaw.

This lemon coleslaw dressing is a tangy combination of honey, fat-free mayonnaise, stevia, black pepper, and lemon juice making it immediately recognizable to anyone who has had a proper plate of this classic side dish. Top it off with some lemon zest for a tangy finish!

However tempting it might be to use the same ingredients for both dishes – whether out of convenience or budget-savvy planning – these dressings are so distinct from one another that it’s really worth taking the time to experiment with each recipe as written.

How to thicken lemon coleslaw dressing

Making coleslaw dressing is easy, but getting it to the right thickness can sometimes be tricky. If you want to give your lemon coleslaw dressing just the right consistency all you need is xanthum gum. Simply add it to your recipe until you reach the desired consistency. Voila!
