Hello everyone! Time for a quick recipe. Who here loves cole slaw? Here’s a recipe I came up with years ago, it is tried and true and it’s probably our family’s favorite side dish. My boys will never turn their nose up at this cole slaw. 🙂
The great thing about this coleslaw. . . The dressing has many applications. Aside from the cole slaw, it can be used for:
- A homemade salad dressing
- Toss it with cubed cucumbers for a phenomenal cucumber salad
- Pasta salad
One time I added about 1/4 avocado to the base dressing and made a delicious avocado salad dressing. Let your mind roam; be daring with it! I’ve never tried it, but I bet it would be delicious added to mashed potatoes, egg salad, you name it. This recipe calls for shredded cabbage. I sometimes use my stand mixer attachment 
Note: we can’t have eggs, so we have to substitute egg-free mayonnaise for the mayo. I haven’t found a homemade egg-free recipe for mayo yet. If you have one, please let me know!

Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe. I’ve made it twice already, using parsley because I didn’t have dill. It came out great! I am currently making it as a side dish for Thanksgiving tomorrow. 🙂
Stephany, thank you! I’m so glad you are enjoying it. It is such a favorite of ours that it’s great to see someone else enjoying it too. 🙂
I just made this and it is stellar! I keep just picking pieces out of the bowl to eat. Thank you!
I’m so glad you like it – thank you!!
I tried this tonight and added some Apple while I was the cabbage and it came out so delicious. Thanks for the recipe!
What a great idea! I love that creativity. I’ll have to try it next time! Thanks for trying it out! <3
Very good recipe. It’s a keeper!
Thank you! <3
My grandmother's slaw is almost identical – except she always put in celery seeds. I loved it as a kid. It's kind of hard to find celery seed in the supermarket's seasoning section anymore. When I do see it, I buy it.
It’s awesome to go to see this web page and reading the views of all mates on the topic
of this post, while I am also eager of getting knowledge.
This is delicious and is the easiest coleslaw dressing. I will go a little lighter on the honey and use a touch more dill next time.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it. <3
Little to much vinegar. I will definitely make again with 1/8 cup next time
Thanks for trying it out, Vince! 😀
