Step 2: Pour dressing over cabbage mixture and mix thoroughly. Cover bowl and refrigerate slaw at least 2 hours (the longer the better). Mix again before serving.
For a touch of my own, I went a little light on the sugar and mayo. added plain yogurt instead of milk and buttermilk. Half apple cider vinegar and half white. Added celery seeds and a pinch of red pepper for a southern kick.
Just the right amount of everything! I add two Tablespoons chopped dill.Other recipes have too much Mayo. This is perfect!
My family loves this!!
Loved it exactly as it asked and added a package of imitation crab. (Seafood theme). So yummy.
Yummy! I followed the recipe with just a couple of shortcuts. I bought coleslaw mix and shredded carrots from the produce department and chopped extra fine. Was it a little soupy? Yes; but delicious!
A friend of mine brought this coleslaw over as a side dish, and I loved it! She gave me the recipe and I found out it was here on all recipes. I came to find it so I can save it into my recipes. A couple of changes my friend did, that I feel works out great were 1/4 c. Sugar, 3 T of vinegar, and 3/4 tsp salt. Great recipe, and goes amazing with shredded pork shoulder sandwiches or as a side to shredded pork!
I had to jump on here again and say... This is the best coleslaw I have ever made/had!!! Very easy, minimal ingredients and if you don't have buttermilk, making your own is so easy. YOU WILL NOT REGRET MAKING THIS ONE. Thank you for a GREAT recipe.
This coleslaw is the best I’ve ever made! No changes either, it’s a billion times better than KFC…My cabbage head I got from the store was HUGE! One cabbage head typically is about 8.5-9 cups shredded and my cabbage head after shredding finely was about 18 cups. Just make sure to measure out so you have good proportion of cabbage to sauce ❤️
I had never made homemade coleslaw before I thought it would be too difficult. I was wrong thanks to this recipe. It was absolutely delicious. I will never buy coleslaw again. Thank you for sharing.
