Ingredients
  • 4 cups shredded cabbage
  • 2 tablespoons grated white onion
  • 1 cup shredded or grated carrot
  • 2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
  • 2/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine ground white pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions
  1. The name, coleslaw, is derived from the Dutch words "kool," meaning "cabbage," plus "sla," meaning "salad." I offer for your enjoyment the classic coleslaw recipe, Aunt Ro's Coleslaw recipe and my own recipe, Richard's Coleslaw, a slaw without mayonnaise.
  2. Prepare the vegetables by slicing, shredding or grating very thin.
  3. Toss the vegetable ingredients to mix well.
  4. Prepare the dressing by whisking together the vinegar, mayonnaise, sugar, salt and pepper.
  5. Fold the dressing into the tossed vegetables and refrigerate, covered, for at least 2 hours.
  6. May be made ahead. Toss occasionally to keep the dressing distributed over the vegetables.

This sounds great!


I made this tonight. I'm super picky about my coleslaw sauce. It's usually too sweet, not sweet enough or too bland.

This was absolutely PERFECT for me! I loved all the flavors and just the right amount of sweetness. I did substitute the sugar with Splenda because of my diet. A super high 5 for this one.

I hope you didn't mind me putting my picture up.


Quick and easy homemade!it's the best!!!
