First, gather all your ingredients: sour cream, sugar, salt, white vinegar, and shredded cabbage. Having everything ready makes the process smoother.
In a large bowl, combine the sour cream, sugar, salt, and white vinegar. Use a whisk to blend them together until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Look for a well-combined consistency without lumps.
Once your dressing is ready, taste it. You should experience a balance of creaminess from the sour cream and a tangy sweetness from the sugar and vinegar. Adjust the seasoning if needed.
Next, add the 1 1/2 pounds of shredded cabbage to the dressing. Fold the cabbage gently into the dressing using a spatula. Ensure every piece is coated evenly.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator. Chill for at least 30 minutes. This waiting period allows the flavors to meld beautifully. During this time, the cabbage will soften slightly, absorbing the dressing.
After chilling, check the coleslaw. The texture should be crisp yet tender. If it appears too thick, you can thin it with a little bit of water or additional vinegar, but be careful not to overpower the flavors.
Right before serving, give the coleslaw a good stir. This will redistribute the dressing and ensure every bite is delicious. The color should be vibrant and inviting!
Finally, serve the Brookville Hotel Coleslaw in a large bowl or individual portions. It’s best enjoyed chilled and can be garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Enjoy your homemade coleslaw! Take note of your friends and family enjoying it; you’ll be proud of what you’ve created.
