Classic Coleslaw

"I'm very picky about my coleslaw. Most recipes are either too sweet or too tangy for my taste. This one is the perfect combination for my taste buds. This recipe is by Old Gringo on Group Recipe website."

directions

  • Prepare the vegetables by slicing, shredding or grating very thin.
  • Toss the vegetable ingredients to mix well.
  • Prepare the dressing by whisking together the vinegar, mayonnaise, sugar, salt and pepper.
  • Fold the dressing into the tossed vegetables and refrigerate, covered, for at least 2 hours.
  • May be made ahead. Toss occasionally to keep the dressing distributed over the vegetables.

Reviews

  1. I also add dill and celery seed to it, to taste
     
  2. Nice simple and delicious recipe. Perfect balance of ingredients.
     
  3. I'm not usually a creamy coleslaw fan, but I wanted to serve a creamy one in addition to a vinegar-based one at a dinner party recently. This recipe converted me -- I loved it!
     
  4. I added a bit of balsamic vinegar. I really like it so thought can't go wrong. It was delicious and I am also picky with coleslaw. Loved the recipe
     
  5. This is an excellent coleslaw recipe! I added paper-thin slices of purple onion instead of grating (I like using the mandolin more than the grater) and reduced the sugar just a tad since DH is trying to avoid refined whites. It still had a hint of sweetness that we both enjoyed. I also like that the dressing doesn't have milk or buttermilk like some other coleslaw recipes - the slaw stayed nice and creamy and wasn't a sopping mess by the time I served it. Thanks for posting!

Tweaks

  1. I substituted with stevia. If it sits a few hours, the bitterness in the stevia goes away.
     
  2. Made it as directed, but used a higher quality white wine vinegar rather than standard white vinegar.
