This guide will show you how to make Raising Cane’s Coleslaw, including tips and tricks for the perfect texture and taste.
Ingredients you’ll need:
- About 1 medium head of shredded cabbage (4 cups)
- Half a cup of shredded carrots for colour and sweetness
- Add a small amount of finely chopped onion to the dish.
Dressings:
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise (for creaminess)
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (adds tang)
- Lemon juice, 1 tablespoon (for freshness).
- Add 1 tablespoon of sugar to the mixture (to balance acidity).
- Salt to taste: 1/2 teaspoon
- 1/4 teaspoon black powder (adjust according to taste)
- Add 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder to the dish for an additional layer of flavour.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Preparing the Vegetables
- Start by shredding your cabbage into fine strips. You can speed up the process by using a food processor. It will also ensure that the cabbage is shredded evenly, which is important for the signature Cane’s texture.
- Use a box grater or food processor to shred the carrots. You want thin, small shreds so that they will mix well with the shredded cabbage.
- Optional onion: To add an extra flavour layer, chop up a small amount of onion and mix it with the carrots and cabbage. This is an optional step but it does enhance the taste of the coleslaw.
2. Dressings:
- Mix the Dressing. In a separate dish, combine mayonnaise with apple cider vinegar and lemon juice. Add sugar, garlic powder, salt and pepper. The dressing should be smooth and well combined. Add more sugar or vinegar to the dressing if it needs to be sweeter.
3. Mix the vegetables and dressing:
- Add everything together: In a large bowl, combine the carrots, cabbage and optionally, onion. Pour the dressing on top of the vegetables and gently mix everything. Be sure to coat every cabbage and carrot with the creamy dressing.
4. Chill and serve:
- Let it Sit: To get the best flavour from the coleslaw, cover and chill for 30 minutes to an hour. Chilling allows flavours to blend and soften the cabbage, making it even better.
- Serve: Give the coleslaw one last toss once it has chilled. You can serve this as a salad with your favourite dishes such as fried poultry, sandwiches or burgers.
Cane’s Style Coleslaw Tips:
- Shred the cabbage finely. The key to getting the texture of Raising Cane’s coleslaw lies in shredding it finely. It should be soft, delicate and not too chunky or thick. This is best done with a mandoline or food processor.
- As with any good coleslaw, the more time it takes to sit, the better its flavours will develop. Make the coleslaw the day before or a few hours prior to serving.
- You can adjust the sweetness and tanginess. If you like a sweeter coleslaw, add more sugar to your dressing. Increase the lemon juice or apple cider vinegar to add more tang.
- Prepare it Ahead: This coleslaw makes a great meal preparation! This coleslaw stays fresh in the refrigerator for up to two days, so it’s a good option for picnics, weeknight meals, and gatherings.
