| Easy Homemade Coleslaw Recipe |
Keto warriors forewarned: This Coleslaw recipe is not Keto. However, if you replace the sugar with Monk Fruit Sweetener, it would be. Yet, I haven't personally tried that. If I did, I would use less Monk Fruit sweetener than 1/3 of a cup. I'd try a heaping tablespoon for my first attempt.
As mentioned in my previous recipe review posts (featured below), although I can cook, it's not my favorite thing to do. For that reason, I'm drawn to simple recipes.
While whipping through my stained recipe book, I came across this straightforward homemade recipe for Coleslaw dressing to share with you.
Homemade Coleslaw Dressing Ingredients:
. 1/2 Cup of Vinegar
. 2/3 Cup of Olive Oil
. 1/3 Cup of Sugar
. 1/2 Teaspoon of Pepper
. Miracle Whip Salad Dressing
If needed, you can double this.
Instructions:
Put all the ingredients in a small pot on the stove and bring it to a boil (EXCEPT the MIRACLE WHIP). Pour the boiled ingredients over the prepared Coleslaw while it's hot. Put it in the fridge until you're ready to serve.
Once you're ready to serve it, mix in two heaping tablespoons of Miracle Whip Salad Dressing. I've added the dressing when the Coleslaw dish is warm, and when it's been cooled in the fridge.
Preparing the Coleslaw:
You can buy the packages of ready-made Coleslaw at the store, or shred a cabbage head and
other vegetables..
The Extra Ingredients that Make Coleslaw Taste Great:
Other than a delicious Coleslaw dressing, there are two ingredients I always add:
. Chopped Apple
. Chopped Onion
Add the chopped apple just before serving. Cut the apple into small bite-sized pieces and stir it in. I usually cut up two medium-sized apples for a medium-sized bowl of Coleslaw.
Add 1/2 of a large onion, chopped or shredded.
The apple combined with the onion and the homemade dressing gives the Coleslaw a delicious taste.
Store-Bought Coleslaw Dressing Alternative:
If you don't have the time to fuss over making homemade dressing, Kraft's Coleslaw Dressing is excellent. Make the Coleslaw as described above with apple and onion, then put in nearly a full regular sized bottle of Kraft Dressing. Base the amount you want on how creamy you prefer your slaw. Pour it in quarters.

ReplyDeleteI like my coleslaw on the sweet side and as an accompaniment to a fish dish. Thanks for sharing your homemade coleslaw dressing with us Barbara.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love coleslaw! When we have barbecue or spaghetti, I feast more on the coleslaw than I do the main course. And, now you have done it! I want coleslaw immediately :)
ReplyDeleteWe are coleslaw lovers here too. This sounds easy and tasty. I imagine the addition of the apples and onion would make this a coleslaw to remember. Will be trying this out for myself and my other half in days to come. Thanks Barbara!
ReplyDeleteWe do love coleslaw, especially with are Friday fish. I can't wait to try this one with our pulled pork sandwiches, as soon as I can get the smoker fired up when the weather finally breaks. Thanks Barbara!
