Hi Chris. I was just wondering how many people this coleslaw serves. I am making it for Easter dinner and it is for 8-10 people so was just wondering how much of everything I should put in. Thanks

Great recipe! I found it much easier to make in a rubbermaid/tupperware container and then shake it vigourously, rather than stirring it in a bowl. Makes it easier and faster, while more evenly distributing the dressing on the cole slaw.

Made this for dinner tonight and just “taste tested” it. It’s so yummy. I went to buy coleslaw dressing this past week and was startled at both the price and the ingredients listed that I couldn’t pronounce. I thought, there has to be a way to make it myself. Sure enough, I found your fantastic recipe. Thanks for saving the day!

This is the best cole slaw recipe I have found! I made it last night with our fish dinner and it was great. As our family says….”This is a keeper!” Which means it goes into the family cookbook as a regular! I have always bought the pre-made Kraft slaw mix, but NEVER AGAIN! Thanks!

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.

[...] pork roast with BBQ sauce. Microwave until hot. Time will depend on how much meat you use! 2. Prepare homemade cole slaw using the cole slaw, salt, garlic powder, sugar, lemon juice, vinegar, mayonnaise or miracle whip. [...]

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!

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!
