THE BEST CREAMY COLESLAW (GOURMET MAG)



The Best Creamy Coleslaw (Gourmet Mag) image

Let me first say that as a general rule, I don't like coleslaw. However, this coleslaw is AMAZING and is a far cry from the limp, sugary, slop that is on most menus. It pairs perfectly on top of a pulled pork sandwich or as a side dish with any other BBQ or picnic fare. It has just the right balance of sweet and tart. The recipe is from the June 2008 issue of Gourmet Magazine and is by far the greatest and freshest out there. Note: I can only guarantee results by chopping up your own cabbage as the recipe calls for... I haven't used one of those pre-shredded coleslaw mixes and don't know how it will turn out if you decide to take that shortcut. *Cook time is "refrigeration" time.

This simple coleslaw recipe was Grandma's standby. You couldn't have a picnic without it. It was almost always in her refrigerator ready to eat.

ANGIE'S DAD'S BEST CABBAGE COLESLAW



Angie's Dad's Best Cabbage Coleslaw image

Found this recipe on another site, my compliments to Dot. This is a fabulous recipe. Quick and easy. Its good the same day but, make a least a day ahead, up two weeks ahead it's flavor only gets better.It does stays crunchy. People that don't eat coleslaw like this one. Prep time does not include time to marinade. If you use the packaged shredded cabbage it only takes 5 minutes.

THE BEST COLESLAW

I love me some coleslaw! This is a little different because it also has mustard in it! I have friends that do not like coleslaw but they love this!

THE BEST COLESLAW!



The Best Coleslaw! image

Every time I make this and bring it somewhere people tell me this is the Best Coleslaw Ever!!! So, that is how it got its name! If you can't find Jimmy's dressing I am sure you can use Marzetti's. Do not use the fat free kind it just is not very good.

Provided by Kris Henning

Categories     Other Salads

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 bag coleslaw
1 medium bunch of broccoli
1 c chopped pecans
1 bunch grapes
1 jar jimmy's coleslaw dressing (not fat free)
1 small cam mandarin oranges

Steps:

  • 1. Put coleslaw in large bowl. Cut broccoli up into small florets. Cut grapes in half. Chop nuts and drain oranges. Mix all together. Pour dressing over and toss.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cabbage: Use a firm, dense head of cabbage, such as green cabbage or red cabbage.
  • Shred the cabbage thinly: This will help the coleslaw absorb the dressing better.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Add shredded carrots, celery, or red onion to your coleslaw for extra flavor and crunch.
  • Make your own dressing: A homemade dressing will give your coleslaw a unique and delicious flavor. Try a simple vinaigrette dressing or a creamy dressing made with mayonnaise, sour cream, or Greek yogurt.
  • Let the coleslaw chill: Coleslaw is best when it has had time to chill in the refrigerator. This will allow the flavors to meld and the dressing to thicken.

Conclusion:

Coleslaw is a versatile and delicious side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. With so many different recipes to choose from, you're sure to find one that you'll love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy side dish, give coleslaw a try!
