**Cole Slaw with Splenda: A Refreshing and Healthy Side Dish**
Cole slaw is a classic summer side dish that is perfect for picnics, potlucks, and backyard barbecues. This refreshing and crunchy salad is made with shredded cabbage, carrots, and a tangy dressing. Traditional coleslaw recipes often call for a dressing made with sugar, but this recipe uses Splenda instead, making it a healthier option. This recipe also includes two variations: a creamy coleslaw dressing and a vinegar-based dressing. So whether you prefer a creamy or tangy coleslaw, you're sure to find a recipe that you'll love.
THE BEST VINEGAR COLESLAW
We love the zippiness that a vinegar-based dressing brings to this coleslaw, making it the perfect partner for rich, meaty dishes like pulled pork or ribs. Cabbage can take lots of seasoning and lots of vinegar, so don't be bashful. But the real secret to this colorful coleslaw is the marinating time - a long trip to the fridge softens up the veggies and gives them time to absorb the flavors of the vinaigrette. A drizzle of olive oil at the end balances the acidity.

Steps:
- Whisk together the vinegar, salt, sugar, celery salt, pepper and garlic in a large bowl until combined. Reserve 1/4 cup of the dressing for serving. Toss the green cabbage, red cabbage and carrots in the remaining dressing until the vegetables are completely coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 3.
- Strain the coleslaw through a colander and discard the liquid. Transfer the coleslaw to a serving bowl. Drizzle with the reserved dressing and the oil. Season with salt and pepper if necessary. Toss to coat.

No matter where I got the recipe, you can be assured that it is really tasty, crunchy, and very colorful with the blend of colors. Weather you...

SWEET RESTAURANT SLAW
This tastes just like the cole slaw served at popular fried chicken or fish restaurants. It's excellent with burgers or on top of BBQ'd pork sandwiches, too!!!
