We had cole slaw with our dinner last night and I thought I’d share the recipe!
Ingredients
14 oz bag of Dole cole slaw
1/2 tsp salt
1/2-1 tsp garlic pepper
2 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp vinegar
1 cup of mayonaisse (Use light mayo for lower cal Cole Slaw!)
Directions
1. In small bowl, add salt, garlic pepper, sugar, lemon juice, vinegar and mayonaisse. Whisk well.
2. In larger bowl, add cole slaw mix. Pour cole slaw dressing over the cole slaw and mix well.
3. Serve as side with dinner. We had this with some chicken breasts marinated in BBQ sauce. (Hubs had to do the chicken…I’m not quite sure how he made it!)

if you substitute ranch salad dressing for the mayo it gives it a nice kick of flavor. that’s how I make mine! i LOVE homemade cole slaw!!!

How awesome! Now I can make easy cole slaw without buying that expensive cole slaw dressing.

THANK YOU ERIN! As you may know, I’m not very good at creating my ‘own’ dishes, ESPECIALLY Coleslaw. . .so I am looking forward to using this recipe tomorrow! Cheers!

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I made homemade cole slaw a week ago and it failed miserably. Needless to say, the recipe I used was tossed out the window (figuratively speaking). I’ve been searching for a good cole slaw recipe but wanted one that someone else could recommend as a “no fail” recipe. So again thank you!

Another idea is Miracle whip (or a generic), a little sugar, a little pepper, a little milk, mixed & poured over the cole slaw mix. It’s my mother-in-law’s recipe, and my kids love it! (And no, we don’t measure, we just eyeball what looks good!). I do believe I’ll try your recipe next time we have it though, sounds yummy!

Another money saver: When I finish a jar of mayonnaise, I pour in a little vinegar, a little sugar and some celery seed and shake well…salt, pepper, garlic pwdr, to taste. Store in fridge until you’re having coleslaw and use that for the dressing!!
Gets the very last bit of mayonnaise out of the jar (now that Helmanns is sooo expensive) I also grate some onion into the coleslaw when I make it.
