Made with a coleslaw mix of cabbage, red cabbage, and shredded carrots and covered in a creamy celery seed dressing, this easy homemade coleslaw recipe comes together quickly for a fresh, crisp side dish. This classic coleslaw pairs well with BBQ, fried fish, or burgers.

I love this easy recipe. It’s a good, solid, creamy coleslaw recipe that works for BBQs, holidays, and family dinners. It’s good made ahead(up to 2 days in advance, giving time for the flavors to blend) for a quick side dish. This is a great recipe for leftover cabbage or coleslaw mix. It’s only a handful of ingredients and a few minutes to mix for a complete side. This is a classic coleslaw recipe with an easy homemade dressing that works!
