For southern coleslaw, white vinegar or apple cider vinegar are commonly used for a tangy flavor that complements the cabbage and other ingredients well.

Personally, I find that rice vinegar adds a subtle sweetness that complements the cabbage well. However, if you're craving a punchier taste, try out red wine vinegar instead.

Apple cider vinegar is the MVP for Southern coleslaw, bringing a tangy sweetness that perfectly balances the creamy dressing and crunchy cabbage. It's the secret to that classic Southern flavor!
