Coleslaw

Coleslaw, easy recipe. A sweet mayonnaise dressing makes it taste like The Colonel’s slaw.

Coleslaw with Green Cabbage

Coleslaw—Summer Staple on Most U.S. Tables

My mom made amazing Coleslaw. Her’s tasted exactly like Kentucky Fried Chicken’s recipe. Although mine is good (Don loves it), it is not the same as Mom’s. I think one of the reasons is that my mom ground her cabbage and I generally shred mine. But I like it both ways. The flavor is great and salad is easy to make.

Picnic Food

One word of caution, however. This recipe is made with Miracle Whip (you can substitute Mayonnaise and a little lemon), so you can leave it sit out at a picnic for no longer than an hour. If it’s going to be HOT the day of your picnic, it’s best to use a vinegar-based dressing.

Food for summer. Try it on barbecue.

You can use purple cabbage in this recipe instead of green if you like. It’s pretty either way.

Coleslaw Trivia

Do you know that in the South (North Carolina, specifically) pulled pork sandwiches (often called BBQ or barbeque) are served with Coleslaw on top of the meat (in the sandwich!). I found that shocking when I moved to Virginia, but it is delicious! Try it. You’ll like it.

What You Need

You need a knife, vegetable peeler, measuring cups and spoons, a bowl, and a box shredder or food processor. Get the best you can afford (or maybe a little better than you can afford) because you want your tools to last a lifetime. And think about buying a smoker to make some pulled pork to eat with your coleslaw!
