Slaw is the side that saves dinner. It takes ten minutes, it uses a head of cabbage or a bag of mix, and it makes fried chicken, pulled pork, or a plain sandwich taste like you planned ahead.
Cooks on Pepper reach for these when the main dish is heavy and they want something cold and crunchy next to it, or when company is coming and there's still a bag of coleslaw mix in the crisper drawer.
Every recipe here is a real slaw someone makes at home: the sweet, finely chopped KFC Slaw Copycat, Spicy slaw with jalapeños, Cilantro Lime Slaw for taco night, Honeycrisp Apple Pecan Broccoli Slaw, and Pad thai slaw with ground turkey that eats like a meal.
Quick Tips
- 1
Salt the cabbage first
Toss shredded cabbage with 1 teaspoon kosher salt and let it sit 20 minutes, then squeeze out the water so the dressing doesn't turn soupy.
- 2
Chop it fine
For a KFC-style slaw, cut the cabbage into small 1/4-inch pieces instead of long shreds — it holds the dressing much better.
- 3
Dress it ahead
Creamy slaws taste best after 1 to 2 hours in the fridge; vinegar slaws with apples or pecans go together right before serving so they stay crisp.
- 4
Balance the sweet
If the dressing tastes flat, add 1 tablespoon vinegar or a squeeze of lime and a pinch of salt before you add any more sugar.
