Number Of Ingredients 10

1 green cabbage
1 carrot

1 cup kraft coleslaw dressing
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoons tony chacheres creole seasoning (or your favorite Cajun seasoning)

Steps:

Made this tonight for my "Survivor" dinner group and it was great. Easy and fast to do with a food processor and the flavor was perfect. I was concerned about 4 teaspoons of celery seed, but it was just right. I'm definitely adding this to my favorites. This recipe is 3 WW Pts.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 15m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

3/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons buttermilk
4 teaspoons celery seeds
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon cayenne
3 cups shredded green cabbage (, about 1/2 head cabbage)
3 cups shredded red cabbage (, about 1/2 head cabbage)
1 green bell pepper, finely diced
1 large carrot, peeled and shredded
1/2 cup grated yellow onion
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley

  • In large bowl, combine mayonnaise, mustard, sugar, vinegar, buttermilk, celery seeds, salt, pepper and cayenne.
  • Whisk to combine.
  • With food processor, shred cabbages, carrot and onion.
  • Add to bowl with diced bell pepper and minced parsley.

  • Better when it has chilled, but be sure to toss again before serving as dressing sinks to the bottom.

Tips for Making the Best Kickin' Coleslaw

  • Use a sharp knife or mandoline to thinly slice the cabbage. This will help the slaw absorb the dressing better and make it easier to eat.
  • If you don't have a mandoline, you can use a food processor fitted with the shredding blade. Just be careful not to over-process the cabbage, or it will become mushy.
  • Use a variety of cabbages. Green cabbage is the most common, but you can also use red cabbage, Savoy cabbage, or Napa cabbage. Each type of cabbage has a slightly different flavor and texture, so experiment to find your favorite combination.
  • Add other vegetables to your slaw. Some popular additions include carrots, celery, bell peppers, and onions. You can also add fruit, such as apples or pineapple.
  • Make your own dressing. The dressing is what really makes this slaw kickin'. You can use a store-bought dressing, but it's easy to make your own. Just whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, vinegar, sugar, and spices.
  • Let the slaw chill for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the slaw to become more crisp.

Conclusion

Kickin' coleslaw is a delicious and versatile side dish that's perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make, and you can customize it to your own taste. So next time you're looking for a side dish that will wow your guests, give kickin' coleslaw a try.
