I whip up my recipe now, and then.

The slaw goes so well with so many main dishes, any recipes you use?

I really like a lime, jalapeño, and cilantro, based one. Use mayo and sour cream for the base. Works great with fish and pork tacos.

I like sweet Cole slaw.


The KFC knock off recipe is pretty good.

*Hand grated fresh cabbage, *hand grated fresh carrot, mayo, white sugar, celery salt, pepper, and a pinch of table salt. Combine, let sit in fridge for about 30 minutes, eat.

*I DETEST prepackaged slaw mixes.

I like 'em all but given a choice I'd rather have a vinegar-base slaw than a mayo one. Had a slaw once at somebody's backyard BBQ that would roll your eyes back it was so good. I wheedled and begged and finally got him to divulge his secret: instead of vinegar he used kosher dill pickle juice.

Sublime.

Too funny. That's my secret ingredient for homemade tartar sauce. Old girlfriend who is a true cracker taught me that one.

I agree.

I do like sour ( vinegar) with bbq and a good mess of baked beans.

Here'e mine.

10 cups chopped shredded red and green cabbage.
¼ cup grated carrot
2 cups Duke’s Mayo
1/2 cup sugar
2 T prepared horseradish (I actually use a little more in mine)
1 T dry mustard
1 T white pepper
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 tsp. celery seeds

Toss the cabbage and carrot in a bowl.
Mix mayo, sugar, horseradish, dry mustard, white pepper, salt, garlic power and celery seeds in a bowl. Add to the cabbage mixture and mix well. Chill covered, until serving time.

And here's one from Darryl (duxndawgs) that is also very good if you're a blue cheese lover.
Blue Cheese Cole Slaw

5 cups shredded cabbage
1 cup shredded red cabbage
1/2 cup Duke's mayo
1/4 cup butter milk
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon minced garlic
3/4 cup crumbled blue cheese (split 1/2 cup and 1/4 cup)
salt to taste
fresh ground black pepper to taste

Combine cabbage in large bowl. In a food processor or blender combine mayo, butter milk, garlic, 1/2 cup blue cheese, Dijon, pinch of salt and pepper. Process until smooth, pour over cabbage, add remaining blue cheese, toss to coat/mix. Adjust salt and pepper to taste, cover and chill for 3-4 hours.

Don't like sweet slaw.
Shredded cabbage and carrots. For the dressing, Best Foods Mayo, wine vinegar, salt, pepper and a little garlic powder.

If I am having it with seafood, I'll throw in a little Old Bay!

I use the recipe ScottF posted several years ago from his wife.

I add a tablespoon of prepared horseradish.

Hot Pepper Slaw for sure.

I no longer use mayo or any dairy products.

I like an apple diced small in mine. I also put them in a salad when I make one. Wife does not agree. miles

I made some for a Pot Luck dinner right before Christmas, got several compliments on it. I made it up the night before.

1 red pepper-seeded and chopped
1 green pepper-seeded and chopped
1 head cabbage, slice thin and then chopped (but not too fine)
1 Bottle of Marzetti's Sweet and Sour Salad dressing, add as needed.
Salt and WHITE pepper to taste

(OK, I admit, I stole the recipe from my Mom)

There are many excellent ways to make cole slaw. There is one sure way to absolutely ruin all of them - that is to run the cabbage through a food processor.

John, should we ever make, "That" fishing trip, I'll turn you lose with the cabbage, knife, and cutting board.

How bad could it be?!

Amen brother! My grandmother was a farm wife and an excellent cook, but God rest her soul, you could drink her coleslaw through a straw. The taste of the dressing was good, but the texture was nasty. She never owned a food processor she just shredded the cabbage and then chopped it into mush.

My wife's Aunt used to make the best Coleslaw I have ever eaten.
We have the recipe, but our attempts have been ordinary at best.

I got a cole slaw from here many years ago, after some tweaking, people seem to love it. Not too sweet, not too creamy.

To 1 lb shredded cabbage, 3/4 cup of mayo, 1 Tbs sugar, 1 tsp dry mustard, 1 tsp horseradish, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder, 1/4 tsp celery seeds, 1 1/2 Tbs cider vinegar.

You will notice quantities are fractions of the next measure up, which is because if you round up, you don't end up with the same result, but a version that many have already voiced they do not prefer, me either, so I fixed it.

This is usually made for 100 people or more, and it is much easier to get the right flavors in quantity.

Try making it with Miracle Whip or Blue Cheese Dressing instead of Mayo.

I no longer use Mayo in Cold Slaw, these are better in fresh Pea Salads too.

Would love to have a recipe for a good one of these...

I have found simple is best for this. I just thaw some Frozen Peas in Water, Drain and add just enough Miracle Whip or Blue Cheese to coat well. Then add a little Black Pepper, Garlic Powder or any other preferred Spice.

Fast and easy! Great for a Camping Side Dish because the Peas can thaw in the icechest yet will stay good for days to make this Side Dish when you are ready.

That's simple, alright...thanks.

If you like your Pea Salad with Shredded Carrots just add a handful of these too of course.

but one of the best ways to maked chopped cole slaw, is to put the slaw into a blender full of water, and pulse it. Stuff comes out perfect every time. Pour the contents into a sieve, drain, and voila`.............

Never heard of that one, before...

I've got to try this. I love cole slaw and blue cheese, but never thought of putting blue cheese in cole slaw.

Need crumbled bacon and little .…little cubes of coby 😉

K, we're gettin there...

My take on my mom's recipe

.5 Cabbage head (shredded)
Plain Yogurt (cup)
Creamy Horseradish (Beaver brand preferred) (.5cup)
Cider/malt vinegar (couple tblspns)
Sugar (.3 cup)
Johnie's seasoning salt
Fresh gnd pepper

Mix up the last 6 ingredients in a bowl. Adjust for taste (the amounts are geustimates). Should be a bit more saltier/sweeter/zippier/tart than you'd think ash when you mix it with the cabbage it will mellow out a bit.

Mix with cabbage. Let sit in fridge for about an hour before serving.
