Learn how to make the classic Primanti Brothers Coleslaw Recipe. This quick vinegar-based coleslaw is crunchy, tangy, and perfect for sandwiches and BBQ meals.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the following ingredients:
Apple cider vinegar
Vegetable oil
Sugar
Celery seed
Onion powder
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Whisk the ingredients together until the sugar dissolves and the oil and vinegar blend well.
Finely slice 1 1/2 heads of green cabbage using a sharp knife or mandoline slicer.
Next, shred 6 large carrots using a grater or vegetable peeler.
Make sure the cabbage and carrots are thinly sliced so they absorb the dressing properly.
Add the sliced cabbage and shredded carrots to the bowl with the dressing.
Use two forks or salad tongs to toss everything together.
Mix until the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
This coleslaw is best served immediately after mixing.
Serving it fresh keeps the vegetables crisp and crunchy.
