After reading another thread on BBQ, the topic of slaw came up.
What is your favorite cole slaw recipe?
The slaw I make is cabbage (no stinkin carrots allowed) with a vinegar, water, sugar and celery seed dressing. No specific recipe as I make it by looks and taste.

I start with one of two basic cabbage/veggie preps. Most often, I use a large 12 inch Chef Knife to chop the cabbage, carrots, and red cabbage in to shreds. The sauce has vinegar, sugar, Mayo, Celery Seed, salt and pepper. How much of each of those I mix in depends on the flavor of the veggies and cabbage.
The other prep method is to chop the cabbage and red cabbage, and put into a blender with water. I use half water, half cabbage, and give 'er a spin. Drain, and you have 'chopped slaw'. I grate the carrots into the drained cabbage, and follow my rule, as outlined above, for mixing in the other stuff.

Sassy, Here's mine. Just leave the carrots out. I like the "wang" that the horseradish gives it. Mike 10 cups chopped shredded red and green cabbage. 1/4 cup grated carrot2 cups miracle whip 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 salad dressing, 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.

Sassy,
If I am making a slaw for or as a topping for BBQ then I pretty much use your exact recipe but I do use finely chopped vidalia onions. The vinegar brings out the flavor of the bbq rub. No mayo as it smothers the BBQ rub flavor.
If I'm making slaw as a side to go along with hamburgers, baked beans and such then I may add a little mayo into the vinegar dressing.
Lately, I've been experimenting with a strawberry and/or raspberry vinaigrette, which brings out a whole new burst of flavors. Really good with chicken.
Where possible I use sourwood honey versus sugar. And minimal amounts at that.
Depending on my mood I may use shredded carrots. But I do not mix green and red cabbage and I never use grapes, apples, raisins, walnuts or anything other than the basics.

My recipe is pretty much the same as every one else. I do soak the cabbage briefly in ice water after it is cut then drain it before adding the dressing. I also use finely grated sweet onion.

Soaking the cabbage in ice water is always a good idea. Makes it crunchy.
I often chop it a couple of hours in advance, put it in a ziplock with a little water and back in fidge. Provides a great crunchy consistency.

1/2 cup mayo 4 drops of liquid sucrolose (or 4 tsp. sugar) 1/4 cup buttermilk 1/4 cup milk juice from 1/2 a lemon (works out to 2-3 Tbsp) 1 1/2 Tbsp white wine vinegar 1/2 tsp kosher salt fresh ground black pepper to taste (I go 15-20 grinds, fine rather than coarse) onion powder to taste, guessing 1/8 to 1/4 tsp (wife and daughter don't like raw onion)
one bag of dole classic slaw mix, I think its a 1 lb ready to bag. Of course you can use fresh chopped but this agrees with all of us in my house.
Mix up the dressing, toss in the bagged stuff, ready to go.

Our hunting and fishing club uses a recipe similar to Sassy's for our annual Fish Fry and everyone raves about it. We also add a little red cabbage, which imparts a little color after a couple days of marinating. No carrots, either.

Sometimes I like it plain and simple, a nice change from the creamy kind. Slice cabbage as thin as you can. One part water, one part vinegar, usually white but sometimes cider if I feel like it, one part sugar. A little more sugar. I don't like much oil so a splash of whatever, usually corn sounds good. Pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Let stand 4-6 hours with an occasional mix.

Folks, if you haven't had slaw with a goodly amount of horseradish in it, then you have yet to taste your best slaw. I prefer slaw with creamy dressing but it's all good. Just DON'T FORGET THE HORSERADISH!

Similar to Nighthawk, we'll mix it up some times and just use a red wine or balsamic vinegrette. I'd never let it near my barbecue, but it's a quick and easy way to add some roughage to the diet.

Just threw together a bunch.
I like mine vinegar based, no mayo. Maybe 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, a couple tablespoons of olive oil, maybe a teaspoon of honey, salt, pepper and celery seeds.
The kids like the shredded carrot in it, so usually throw in one or two of those.

For those that like cider vinegar in your slaw dressings try a good balsamic as well sometime.

never did think sugar in slaw was kosher. but i've eaten sweet slaw.
slaw ought to be crunchy, and a bit of bite in it's proper state.

Stop buggin me, this is the recipe I don't follow:
Coleslaw
For 1 lb of cabbage
1 cup mayo 2 Tbs sugar 1 Tbs dry mustard 1 Tbs horseradish 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp garlic powder 1/2 tsp onion powder 1/2 tsp celery seeds 2 Tbs vinegar
For perfection, reduce the amount of the following: mayo, sugar, dry mustard, horseradish and celery seeds, and add to this some fresh ground black pepper.
I don't like it overly watery and sweet, and 1/2 tsp of celery seed is way too much for the quantity. There.
