Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 medium green cabbage head
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
3 Tbsp granulated sugar
1 to 2 oz cider vinegar
several large spoons hellmanns mayonnaise
2 baby carrots, peeled and grated

Steps:

  • 1. Finely slice a head of cabbage into a large bowl or pot. Discard the hard core from the middle. Peel and grate 2 baby carrots into the bowl.
  • 2. Add several large spoonfuls of mayonnaise. Add salt, pepper and sugar. Mix thoroughly. **It's easier to do this with your hands.
  • 3. **BE A TASTER!** Taste the dressing. If it is too tart add more sugar a little bit at a time. If it needs salt, add it now a little at a time. The flavors should all balance together so there is no individual flavor overpowering another. When taste is balanced, cover and refrigerate until chilled through. Enjoy!

DAVE'S COLESLAW

This is a recipe I have worked on for a while and I think it is just about right. It goes well with just about anything from fried fish to hamburgers, and is to die for on a pulled pork sandwich. If you are going to use it with Q, reduce the amount of dressing you add to the cabbage so it's not too sloppy. For best results refrigerate over night to allow flavors to marry.

FISH HOUSE COLE SLAW



Fish House Cole Slaw image

This is a vinegar base slaw. Great make ahead dish. Plus it's a safer slaw to take to a hot summer cook-out than your mayo base slaw. Also, it will keep for well over a week in the refrigerator.
