Creamy coleslaw pasta salad combines two BBQ and potluck favorites into one creamy, crowd-pleasing side dish. I love that you can make it a few hours ahead, giving the cabbage time to soften and all those tangy, creamy flavors a chance to come together.
Cook 8 oz. ditalini pasta according to the package directions. Drain and rinse. Set aside to cool.
In a large bowl, mix together 1 cup mayonnaise, 2 Tablespoons vinegar, 1 Tablespoon granulated sugar, 1½ teaspoons celery seed, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper.
Add the pasta and toss to coat in the dressing. Stir in 14 oz. bag coleslaw mix.
Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour.
Stir before serving.
Notes
Feel free to use your favorite vinegar. White vinegar, apple cider vinegar, and white wine vinegar are all great options.
