ORIGINAL OLD BAY® COLESLAW

This recipe used to be printed on the Old Bay® cans, but it was removed a decade or more ago; it is very different than the one on the current Old Bay website. I much prefer this one and even today occasionally see a posting from someone looking for the old recipe from the Old Bay can. Well, here it is!

OLD BAY COLE SLAW



Old Bay Cole Slaw image

My husband loves cabbage. He will tear a leaf off a new head of cabbage and eat it like it's candy. Seriously. I enjoy my cabbage when it's made into a slaw and this recipe is fantastic. I had tried many other recipes before this one, and after Lee tasted this, he said "this is my favorite - please make this every time you make...

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 green cabbage
2 large carrots, peeled
2 Tbsp white wine vinegar
1 large red bell pepper
4 green onions (including green tops)
1 Tbsp old bay seasoning
1 c mayonnaise (preferably best foods or hellman's)

Steps:

  • 1. Cut the cabbage into wedges. Cut out and discard the hard core from each wedge. Using a food processor fitted with the slicing disk, cut the cabbage into fine shreds. (The cabbage can also be thinly sliced by hand or mandoline - I use an OXO mandoline!). Transfer to a large bowl.
  • 2. Fit the processor with a shredding disk and shred the carrots. (The carrots can also be shredded by hand using the largest holes of a box grater-shredder - I use the same mandoline for this step too). Add the carrots to the bowl with the cabbage.
  • 3. Sprinkle the cabbage and carrots with the vinegar and mix well. Stir in the bell pepper strips and green onion.
  • 4. Add the mayonnaise and Old Bay Seasoning and mix well. Cover and refrigerate until chilled, at least 2 hours. Serve cold. NOTE: I tend to use 3/4 C mayo, but I am posting the original recipe here.

Time 50m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
2 1/2-3 teaspoons Old Bay Seasoning
7 cups cabbage, shredded
1 cup carrot, shredded

Steps:

  • Blend mayo, vinegar, sugar and Old Bay in large bowl.
  • Add cabbage and carrots. Toss to coat.
  • Chill well before serving.

Nutrition Facts : Calories 197, Fat 13.2, SaturatedFat 1.9, Cholesterol 10.2, Sodium 305.9, Carbohydrate 19.9, Fiber 2.4, Sugar 10.5, Protein 1.7

Tips:

  • Shred the cabbage finely. This will help the slaw absorb the dressing better and make it easier to eat.
  • Use a sharp knife to shred the cabbage. A dull knife will tear the cabbage and make it less appealing.
  • Use a variety of cabbages. Green cabbage is the most common type of cabbage used in coleslaw, but you can also use red cabbage, Savoy cabbage, or a combination of different types of cabbages.
  • Add other vegetables to the slaw. Grated carrots, chopped celery, and thinly sliced red onion are all popular additions to coleslaw.
  • Make the dressing in advance. This will allow the flavors to meld together and make the dressing more flavorful.
  • Use a light hand with the mayonnaise. Too much mayonnaise can make the slaw heavy and greasy.
  • Season the slaw to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste.
  • Serve the slaw cold. Coleslaw is best served chilled.

Conclusion:

Old Bay coleslaw is a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own liking. With its tangy, slightly spicy flavor, Old Bay coleslaw is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
