KITTENCAL'S FAMOUS COLESLAW



Kittencal's Famous Coleslaw image

This is the most delicious coleslaw that you will ever have! I make this for weddings, large socials and in the summer for BBQ's and parties, and there is never anything left it all goes and everyone wants the recipe --- plan ahead the coleslaw needs to be refrigerated for the stated time to blend the flavors, this coleslaw will intensify in flavor with chilling time --- this is not a thick heavy dressing like some other coleslaw recipes it's the perfect texture and flavor and what makes this coleslaw stand out from all others is the fresh lemon juice so please use only fresh I have used bottled in the past and it is just not the same --- the dressing amount will yield enough for two 16-ounce packages prepared coleslaw mix or 1 head of green cabbage --- for one 16-ounce package prepared coleslaw mix use the dressing amounts posted on bottom of recipe and add in 3 or more large of chopped green onions.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients. Fresh cabbage and vegetables will give your coleslaw the best flavor and texture.
  • Shred the cabbage finely. This will help the dressing to coat the cabbage evenly.
  • Don't overdress the coleslaw. Too much dressing will make the coleslaw soggy.
  • Let the coleslaw chill for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the dressing to thicken.
  • Serve coleslaw as a side dish with grilled or fried meats, fish, or sandwiches.
