This creamy Coleslaw with Sour Cream is crisp, tangy and refreshing! Made with a fun mix of green and purple cabbage, carrots and a homemade sour cream dressing, this is the kind of delicious slaw that actually gets eaten!
Coleslaw with Sour Cream
We love this Sour Cream Coleslaw as a side for fish dinners (or stuffed in our Salmon Fish Tacos), it’s ready in 5 minutes and isn’t overly rich or sweet like some classic coleslaw recipes.
This Coleslaw with Sour Cream is:
- Creamy without being heavy like mayo-based coleslaws.
- Tangy, refreshing and savory, no sugar added.
- Perfect for tacos, BBQs and sandwiches.
- Ready in 5 minutes.
Ingredients for Sour Cream Coleslaw
Cabbage and carrots. I like doing a mix of green + purple cabbage because of the fun colors but you can also just do one of them. You can get a pre-shredded coleslaw mix or make your own from whole veggies, I’ll add the amount for both below!
Cilantro (optional). I like doing some cilantro for more flavor but you can skip it or do dill or parsley!
Sour cream, for the dressing, you can also sub in yogurt, for a lighter dressing!
Mustard, Dijon or yellow mustard, for flavor.
Lime juice (or vinegar), we prefer lime because it’s more fragrant and less sharp but both work!
Salt and pepper.
How to make Coleslaw with Sour Cream
STEP ONE: Make the dressing. In a small bowl, mix the sour cream, mustard, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings.
STEP TWO: Make the coleslaw. Add the shredded veggies and cilantro to a large bowl, pour in the dressing and mix until combined. Enjoy!
