Ingredients

  • 1 small head green cabbage shredded
  • 2 large carrots grated
  • 2 tbsp minced onion
  • 1 cup miracle whip
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice or apple cider vinegar
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • ½ teaspoon celery seed
  • ½ tsp Salt and pepper or to taste
  • ¼ tsp dried tarragon
  • ½ tsp Dijon mustard

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine shredded green and grated carrots.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together miracle whip, milk, apple cider vinegar or lemon juice, sugar, celery seed, dried tarragon, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  • Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss well to coat evenly.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to let the flavors meld.
  • Give it a quick toss before serving. Adjust seasoning if needed.

Notes

This coleslaw tastes even better the next day. For a crunchier texture, add chopped apples or toasted pecans.  Replace some of the cabbage with red cabbage for a colorful presentation. You can use a 14 oz bag of coleslaw mix to forgo the shredding of cabbage and carrots.
