Crispy Coleslaw Recipe


Crispy Coleslaw Recipe
This is crispy and keeps well in the refrigerator for several days. And it stays crispy, does not wilt like most coleslaws do. It has a nice balanced flavor that is not too tart and has no mayonnaise.

Chefjeb, Have you ever had this on picnic or beach? I would think with no mayo. it would be a good slaw for outdoor get togethers.

It is good, but it still needs to be refrigerated. The vinegar adds acidity, which slows bactrial growth, but doesn't stop it. FYI, it isn't the mayo that gets people sick. Commercial mayo is actually slightly acidic. It's the potatoes and other stuff that causes bacterial growth. This recipe is as close as you are going to get to safe. Have fun and have a LIIT for me...I'm staying with the wine.


This sounds yummy - I am assuming I could used roasted red peppers for the pimento, am I right? Up here you don't see pimento in a jar very often. Mostly only seen inside an olive. :-) Thanks again!


I made this for the 4th and it's awesome!!! It's a refreshing and safe change from mayonnaise based coleslaws during hot weather.


Thanks so much for sharing this recipe. I made it and everyone loved it! It was very crispy, and I love the addition of pimentos. Can hardly wait to make it when I have pork chops, peas, and cornbread!
