I've only made coleslaw once and it wasn't so good. Anybody have a good recipe out there? Thanks

    cutlet,
    There are more coleslaw recipes than you can shake a stick at... Basically they come down to a vinegary dressing, or a creamy dressing. Which would you like to make? (It would also help to know what about yours was "not so good".)[p]Ken

    cutlet,[p]A friend made the Napa Salad listed below. It was great![p]NAPA SALAD[p]One package of broccoli slaw
    One package of angel hair slaw
    1 cup of sliced almonds, toasted
    Small package of sunflower seeds
    Two packages of Beef Ramon Noodle Soup[p]
    DRESSING
    Make the dressing a day ahead.
    Mix the soup mix with one cup of oil (not olive oil)
    ½ cup apple cider vinegar
    ½ cup sugar[p]At last minute toss all the ingredients including the noodles crunched or crushed. Not good leftover as noodles get soggy. [p]This feeds a good number of people. Easily feeds 10 I would say

    That is good stuff, Damon. We use a variation of that recipe (Ramen chicken instead of beef). We use 3/4 cup safflower oil and 1/4 cup sesame oil and substitute toasted sesame seeds for the sunflower seeds. Kinda gives it a more "Asian" flavor.[p]Jim

    cutlet,
    We've started buying our slaw in a Cold Slaw Kit, found in the bagged salad section. Just dump in a bowl, pour the contents of the sauce over it and serve. It's better if you let it set for a few hours in the frig to let the sauce soak in. I think it is produced by Garden Fresh. Very inexpensive and tasty. We eat it on BBQ sandwiches, hotdogs, hamburgers and as a side for other meals. [p]Spring "Eat'n Bushes" Chicken

    cutlet,
    Equal parts Miracle Whip, Cider Vinegar and granulated Sugar. You could start with 1/2 cup of each.[p]This is the recipe for KFC and almost the same one Chick Fil A usues. You can add a little celery seed if you'd like.

    dawgtired,
    As a follow up and if you believe that simpler is better, as I do, then try this. It's actually the easiest of the many cole slaws I've made and also one of the best. This is light as opposed to some heavy mayo base slaws.[p]1/4 C red wine vinegar
    2 Tbsp sugar
    2 Tbsp peanut or vegetable oil
    1 Sack (16 oz) shredded cabbage
    1 tsp salt
    celery seeds[p]salt and pepper[p]Mix vinegar and sugar. Add oil. Add cabbage to dressing and season with salt and pepper. Toss with fingers to combine. Add celery seeds and adjust seasonings. Let stand for 20 minutes. Re-toss and serve.[p]

    cutlet,
    Cole slaw is like potato salad in that everyone has their favorite version. If you want to make a regular, good slaw that you can alter to your taste, you might try this simple recipe:[p]1) Cabbage, green. Can use also carrots, red cabbage, if you like). [p]2) Core the cabbage (slice into fourths and cut out the hard stem stuff) and slice thinly (by hand, with machine, grater, or whatever). Add grated carrots, red cabbage, if you wish.[p]3) Put the above in a large bowl and mix in mayonnaise (like Helmann's or whatever you grew up on) to coat.[p]4) In separate bowl mix approximately 1 part vinegar (apple cider or white) and 1 1/2 parts plain granulated sugar. Mix to dissolve sugar (you can add more or less sugar as you wish).[p]5) add as much of 4 to 3 as you wish and taste to adjust. [p]6) Add salt and/or celery seed and/or anything else you'd like. [p]7) Add more sugar, vinegar or mayonnaise to your liking.[p]8) Refrigerate, if you have time.[p]9) Serve.[p]Note: Cabbage will give off liquid as it sits in the dressing you made, so you don't need to bathe the slaw with the liquid. If you like it dryer or crisper, serve it sooner after mixing. If you like it more creamy and wilted, let it sit for a while. Take some notes and modify as you wish for the next time.[p]Good luck![p]BOB

    cutlet,
    Here is the recipe for the KFC slaw. It's the only kind I eat and I have yet to try anything better. Instead of buying the cabbage and carrots, I just get the colesaw mix in a bag (bag salad section) and chop it up.[p]Recipe By : Copy Cat Web Site

    1/2 cup mayonnaise
    1/4 cup buttermilk
    1 1/2 tablespoons white vinegar
    2 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice

    When I make coleslaw to be used on pull pork sandwiches I buy the premix law at my business Costco. What I put in this slaw is my Texas style vinegar-based barbecue sauce. I do not mix in a lot of the barbecue sauce but just enough to give it a little bit of the sauce flavor. I did this just as a test a couple of years ago and ever since this is what I use and everyone loves it

    Amazingribs.com has a great vinegar base slaw. Sweet and Sour, I think that's what he calls it.
