Herb's take
A staple at Southern cookouts, this classic Carolina slaw is all about crunch, tang, and a creamy dressing that lets Duke’s mayo be the star. You’ll learn the science of letting cabbage rest in the fridge so the flavors meld and the veggies stay snappy.

Instructions
- 01In a large mixing bowl, combine the coleslaw mix and red onion. Toss well to distribute the onion evenly.
- 02In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the Duke's mayonnaise, sour cream, apple cider vinegar, granulated sugar, Dijon mustard, celery seed, kosher salt, and black pepper until fully blended.
- 03Pour the dressing over the coleslaw mix and red onion. Use tongs or a silicone spatula to fold until the vegetables are well coated but not bruised.
- 04Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes before serving to meld flavors and crisp the slaw.
- 05Give the slaw a quick toss before transferring to a serving bowl. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed with extra salt or vinegar, then serve chilled.
