Hey! Southern coleslaw is all about that creamy, tangy dressing. It’s usually made with mayonnaise, a little vinegar, sugar, and some mustard for that signature flavor. The key ingredients are fresh cabbage and carrots, finely shredded, which give it a crunchy texture. For an authentic Southern twist, some people add a bit of celery seed or onion to really round out the taste.
