Texas Coleslaw Recipe


Texas Coleslaw Recipe
A great dish to take to a picnic as there is no mayo to worry about in the heat!!! Coleslaw does shrink in the refrigerator.

This was delicious! I loved it! Great combination of flavors!


I hate to be the one to bust the food safety bubble, but commercial mayonnaise is slightly acidic and the acidity actually slows bacterial growth. The old mayo made-you-sick thing came when mayos were hand madefrom egg yolks and oil. They are actually an emulsion, and they were dangerous. The enzymes in the corn can kick bacterial growth in high gear. Bottom line keep it chilled to 41 degrees or below and don't let it sit out and get temperature abused. Recipe sounds good.


Hey, thanks for the info---but any mayo dish in the heat just doesn't do it for me!!!! I prefer other choices!!!!


I've bookmarked this one to use when we go on picnics. I've had food poisoning once before from mayonnaise at a picnic. Not fun. Thanks for a great post with a good alternative.


I will definitely try this non-mayo alternative! Much healthier....thank you!
