VINCENT'S FAMOUS GARLIC COLESLAW



Vincent's Famous Garlic Coleslaw image

Tired of all the super sweet coleslaw dressings out there? Look no further! Caution - must LOVE garlic! This is a copycat recipe for the famous garlic coleslaw served at Vincent's seafood restaurant, a Dallas legend since 1968. Growing up, we had an Easter tradition of dinner at Vincent's every year. The coleslaw was my dad's favorite and became mine too! We still go there for Easter but I love being able to recreate this unique recipe at home anytime. Goes great with barbecue ribs, burgers, seafood steam pot, or just as a cool crisp snack. The longer it cures, the better it gets!

CREAMY GARLIC COLESLAW



Creamy Garlic Coleslaw image

This recipe is from Junior's restaurant in Brooklyn, NY cookbook. I used 1 bag of preshredded coleslaw mix, 1 cup of mayonnaise but the same amount of vinegar, sugar, garlic, salt and pepper. This coleslaw was so good and creamy, we love garlic. It is best to make this the day before to give it time to get nice and creamy. Cook time of 24 hours is the marinating time.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cabbage. Green cabbage is the most common type used for coleslaw, but you can also use red cabbage or a mix of both. If you want a milder flavor, use white cabbage.
  • Shred the cabbage thinly. This will help the slaw absorb the dressing better and make it easier to eat.
  • Use a sharp knife or mandoline to shred the cabbage. This will give you clean, even slices.
  • Add other vegetables to your slaw. Carrots, celery, and onion are all popular additions. You can also add fruits like apples or pineapple.
  • Make your own dressing. The dressing is what really makes or breaks a coleslaw. There are many different recipes out there, so find one that you like and experiment with different ingredients.
  • Let the slaw chill before serving. This will help the flavors to meld and make the slaw more refreshing.

Conclusion:

Coleslaw is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed at any time of year. It's perfect for picnics, potlucks, and barbecues. With so many different variations, there's sure to be a coleslaw recipe that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy side dish, give coleslaw a try.
