Vinegar substitutes for the homemade coleslaw sauce
If you’re looking to replace apple cider vinegar in the homemade coleslaw dressing, there are a few options depending on your preferences and what you have on hand.
- Lemon or Lime Juice: Citrus juices such as lemon or lime juice can be used in place of vinegar in coleslaw dressing. These juices will add a tangy flavor and a bright, fresh taste to the dressing.
- Yogurt: Yogurt can be used to replace some or all of the mayonnaise in the dressing, and it will add a tangy flavor to the dressing without the use of vinegar.
- Rice Vinegar: Rice vinegar is a mild, slightly sweet vinegar that can be used as a substitute for white vinegar in coleslaw dressing. It has a milder flavor that won’t overpower the other ingredients in the dressing.
- Sour Cream: If you prefer a creamier dressing, you can use sour cream instead of mayonnaise in the dressing. This will give the dressing a tangy flavor without the use of vinegar.
