Start by showing that cabbage who’s boss. Finely shred it until you question whether you’re making coleslaw or confetti. Next, take those carrots for a spin on the grater. Remember, they’re not just for color; they bring sweetness and texture to the party.

In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sugar, white vinegar, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. This dressing is like the magic potion that transforms your average vegetables into the Bojangles coleslaw we all crave.

Combine the shredded cabbage and carrots in your large mixing bowl. Pour the dressing over the vegetables and stir until everything is well coated. This is where the magic happens, folks. Each strand of cabbage and carrot gets a lavish coat of that creamy dressing, turning into something spectacular.

Cover your bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the coleslaw to an airtight container and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour. This isn’t just to cool it down; it’s to let the flavors marry and intensify, making your Bojangles coleslaw even more delicious.
