Homemade coleslaw is simple to make and holds very well in the refrigerator — in fact, it only tastes better the longer it sits. Make a big batch to have on hand to serve with (or on) sandwiches or as an instant side at another meal. This creamy and traditional version is classically sweet and tangy from the mayonnaise, vinegar and sugar and only needs cabbage and carrots. Celery seed may not be in your favorite diner version, but it’s the secret ingredient that gives this recipe pleasant celery, mustard and onion flavors. Not to be confused with celery salt, it is about the size of a poppy seed and packs a lot of punch.

This was the best Cole slaw I ever had, especially the next couple of days. Perfectly tangy.
This is how I make my Cole slaw. I like to add a little crushed, drained pineapple to it. Sweetens and gives it a nice flavor.
Delicious. Perfect blend of creaminess and acidity.
the best
Best Cole Slaw recipe! I made it with 2 Tbls of sugar and the sweetness was perfect. I also added a secret ingredient: craisins! They are so good in this salad. Finally, I split the vinegar (half white wine and half white balsamic) which was great.
This is a good slaw recipe. It is creamy but also has a nice tang from the vinegar. I shredded enough red and green cabbage and carrots to make about eight cups. I decrease the mayonnaise to 3/4 c and the sugar to 2 tablespoons. Turned out great.
what size is one serving? 1-2 oz or 5-6 lbs, please be more specific
