Steps:
- Chop the vegetables very fine: the cabbage, carrots, and onions are all chopped very fine, almost like the size of rice. You can chop them with a sharp knife, or if you have a food processor with a shredding attachment, use that and then finely chop with a sharp knife. (See note about using a pre-shredded coleslaw mix.)
- In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients for the dressing. Whisk until smooth.
- Add in cabbage, carrots, and onion; mix well until everything is thoroughly coated.
- Cover and refrigerate overnight. (If you have time - and can remember! - stir it occasionally. This will give you the absolute best results.) Stir again before serving and enjoy!

Steps:
- If you are lucky enough to have a food processor, get it out of your cupboard. Start to cut up the cabbage and place it in the processor. While cutting up the cabbage, also cut up small slices of green pepper, onion, and carrot and add to the processor.
- Mixing up the ingredients this way will help distribute the flavors throughout the slaw. You may want to use a little less of the onion, or green bell pepper, but do use all of the carrot.
- If you do not have a food processor, no problem, simply chop the cabbage, onions, and carrots into small pieces. Add chopped green bell pepper if desired.
- Now mix Miracle Whip, vinegar, oil, and sugar until you have a smooth mixture. The taste should be sweet with just a hint of vinegar.
- Amount of dressing may be increased or decreased according to the amount of slaw you are making. Add to cut up veggies and mix well. Let stand at least one hour to let flavors mix.

KENTUCKY COLESLAW
We love going to Kentucky Fried Chicken. Although we enjoy the chicken, we actually go for the coleslaw. We buy several pints at a time. I make several versions of cole slaw but we sometime just want this. I tried for several years before getting this recipe right. I think I have figured it out now.If you are in a hurry get a bag of the preshredded slaw mix. It is not quite as good as grating it yourself though. -Donna Gribbins, Shelbyville, Kentucky

Steps:
- 1. How to Make it: Mix together and add to your shredded coleslaw. Keeps up to 2 weeks. Other variations if you don't want it so sweet do only 1/4 cup of sugar. Use Balsamic Vinegar or Cider Vinegar. Add Sweet onion to it or Wala Wala Onion. If you are making a lot of coleslaw you might want to double this recipe.
- 2. First I put the cabbage and carrots through my food processor on fine chopping blade or shredder, depending on your machine and chop that up. Put into a big bowl to mix Then add diced onion and green pepper if you want it and mix gently Pour your dressing over cole slaw and mix and chill for at least an hour before serving Enjoy Good Food

Creamy juicy coleslaw that the buddies at my significant other's work could not believe this was not from KFC. I have never found a recipe for the way I make it. I don't think it would be as juicy with real mayo, the sugar makes it juicy

Steps:
- Finely Chop the Cabbage and put in large mixing bowl.
- Add the other ingredients and mix well.
- Put in a container and refrigerate covered. I use a half gallon plastic ice cream container. I find it best to sit over night or for several hours -- for the flavors to blend and allow the sugar to bring out the juices. I serve in tiny desert bowls as it is quite juicy.

Steps:

- Whisk together in a small bowl-the salad dressing, sugar, and vinegar.
- Pour over the coleslaw mixture, mix well.

Tips:
- Use fresh, crispy cabbage: The fresher the cabbage, the better the coleslaw will be. Look for heads of cabbage that are firm and heavy, with no signs of wilting or bruising.
- Shred the cabbage thinly: This will help the dressing to coat the cabbage evenly and make it easier to eat.
- Use a flavorful dressing: The dressing is what really makes coleslaw special. Be sure to use a dressing that is tangy, sweet, and creamy, with a good balance of flavors.
- Chill the coleslaw before serving: This will help the flavors to meld and make the coleslaw more refreshing.
- Serve the coleslaw as a side dish or as a topping for sandwiches, tacos, or burgers.
Conclusion:
Coleslaw is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways.
