In a mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, granulated sugar, white wine vinegar, salt, and ground black pepper until smooth.
1 cup mayonnaise, ¼ cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup white wine vinegar, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Refrigerate the dressing until ready to use.
Prepare the Coleslaw
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded green cabbage, purple cabbage, carrots, and purple onions.
4 cups shredded green cabbage, 1 cup shredded purple cabbage, 1 cup shredded carrots, ½ cup sliced purple onions
Pour the prepared coleslaw dressing over the vegetables. Toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated. Add more dressing if you prefer a creamier coleslaw.
1 cup coleslaw dressing
Optional: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
Stir again before serving. Serve cold as a side dish with BBQ, fried chicken, or your favorite meals.
Notes
The calories listed are an approximation based on the ingredients in the recipe card and a serving size of ½ cup of coleslaw. Actual calories will vary.
The prep time is listed as 15 minutes because that's what it took me using a food processor. If you use a knife to cut the vegetables, it may take a little longer.
We update the recipe slightly on 2/6/25. New photos were added along with the update.
