For anyone having bbqs or having to take a dish - this is an easy one to make and you dont have to worry about it in the sun or heat!!!

I bag coleslaw mix ( I like the one with carrots etc)
Small onion (diced)
Dressing
1 cup vinegar
1 cup sugar (I add just a little more because I dont like things really sour lol) Just taste it before you pour it on
Pepper and salt to taste

Whisk until sugar is dissolved (You can heat in microwave to help dissolve sugar but dont pour over cabbage until cooled)
I like to let it sit in fridge overnite so its well marinated.
If you dont have time just add a lttle olive oil to help dressing stick to slaw. Do in morning for that evening!


Finely chopped green peppers ,Celery salt or celery seasoning-can also be added

Keeps in fridge for a week.

I love slaw.

thanks for the recipe

Sounds like a good recipe except I would have to cut way back on the sugar as I do like sour! :lol: Thanks for sharing.

Let me share my favorite recipe:

1 bag of slaw mix
2 Tab cider vinegar
4 Tab sugar
8 oz whipping cream (not whipped)
combine and chill
This is the creamiest slaw ever!

thanks for the recipe-it reminds me of a slaw my mom made when I was girl-
I have a bag of slaw mix in the fridge-I'll make this tonight


Pete, I'll be trying that one too!

I love slaw!

This sounds wonderful! Do you think Splenda could be substituted for the sugar?

I have done that - still good.

I'm sure it could. At the very least, use the half and half sugar/Splenda blend.

You can always use apple cider vinegar - takes alot less sugar!!!!

I like the idea of the creamy slaw - I dont like mayo so I have stayed away from the creamy ones for that reason!!! thanks
