Cole Slaw help

[janis362529]

Any ideas on making yummy cole slaw. My recipe is extreemely basic I think and I was wondering how others make them

Head of cabbage thinly sliced
2 carrots grated
Mayo
viniger

[Neeley]

I do mine 3lbs lbs of slaw mix w/3 cups mayo, 3 cups sugar, 2-4 tablespoons vinegar and 1 tablespoon garlic powder. Then I mix and let it sit in the fridge for a few hours. After that I taste it and add a little more of whatever ingredient it seems to need a boost of.

I am not one to cook by a set recipe. I am more of an "add a bit of this" and "put in a dash of that". The only rule I really follow with the cole slaw is to use equal parts of mayo and sugar with just enough vinegar and garlic to liven it up.

Cabbage, green & red
Carrots or raddishes
Kraft coleslaw dressing

I've never been able to produce a nice coleslaw dressing on my own, it's always watery. Kraft helps me, lol.

Here's mine:

Cole Slaw

1 16 oz bag cole slaw mix
2/3 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sugar
3 Tbs milk
2 Tbs vinegar
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper

Toss cole slaw mix in bowl. Combine remaining ingredients and pour over cabbage mixture; toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate several hours or over night to allow flavors to blend.


Yield: 6 servings
