Donna’s Coleslaw Dressing

  4.7 – 25 reviews  • Coleslaw Dressing Recipes

This, in the opinion of my family, is superior to the nearby Thai restaurant! Use more or less red curry paste to adjust the level of heat. We prefer spicy food!

Made this recipe; just put in 1/4 cup rice vinegar instead of 1/2 cup. I did not have poppy seed, so a put some dried celery flakes in it instead. Also, I added a small dash of yellow mustard into the dressing. It is a 5 star keeper recipe.

5.25.21 The ratio of mayonnaise to liquid ingredients is just wrong, too much liquid. I cut the rice vinegar in half, and next time, I’ll probably start with 3 tablespoons, as the consistency still was a bit thin. However, it does taste good and made a nice coleslaw to go with fish sandwiches.

Fantastic!
Theodore Larson
Delicious. My husband loved it
Victoria French
So delicious! Everyone loved it. But I left out the cream,
Ian Castillo
Wonderful ~ and so easy to prepare! I cut the vinegar in half and used celery seed instead of poppy seeds. Placed it directly into a mason jar and gave it a shake. How convenient! No more bottled coleslaw dressing for us. Thanks for sharing!
Christopher Lawrence
Fantastic! I add extra cream as it thickens up in the fridge
Brandon Dawson
I added celery seed, dried cherries, and pineapple bits. My very picky boys 3 and 7 love love love it
Brooke Perry
made this for the family, instead of heavy cream, used 1/2 & 1/2. Everyone raved about it !!! Love it !
Kerri Howard
I had exact ingredients on hand and this recipe turned out awesome! It is definitely a keeper.
Victoria Gomez
I used 1/2 and 1/2 because I didn’t have heavy cream (I also wanted to avoid the fat and calories too) I think it did the job that I needed which was to make the bodacious broccoli salad from this website. Didn’t have poppy seeds but it was good, no complaints from anyone and easy to whip up.
Richard Martin
Pretty good stuff. I made it and used it the next day nice change of pace.
Carl Wall
It got two thumbs up from the men in my house!
Michael Mills
I’ve made this a few times already~~after reading the other reviews, I did make some changes this time, only because I like experimenting. Used a little bit less vinegar & sugar, added about a 1/4 teaspoon ground celery seed,& ginger/garlic paste, and some dry mustard. Used lemon/pepper seasoning salt, & it will sit in the fridge a few hours before I use it. I’ve also used it as a sandwich topping-very good! Thanks, Donna, for this quick, easy recipe.

Made this dressing last night for coleslaw to top pulled pork sandwiches.Everyone loved it! I only had 1/2&1/2 instead of cream and I did only add 1/4 cup rice vinegar. It came out fluffy, creamy and delicious! This will be my only dressing recipe. *I put it all in a mason jar and shook it up to mix. I think it makes the dressing mix better and come out thick and fluffy.
Regina Mayer
Followed recipe, did not turn out anything like the picture shown. Too thin, too much vinegar.
Jennifer Ingram
It was so good. I made this with the slow cooker pulled pork that is also found on this site. This recipe is definitely a keeper.

This is a basic coleslaw dressing subbing heavy cream for milk or buttermilk and rice wine vinegar for cider vinegar. The 1 teaspoon of poppy seeds did little to enhance the flavor of the finished coleslaw although visually appealing. If rated against bottled coleslaw dressings, this would definitely get a 5* but don’t expect it to match or exceed coleslaw you’ve had that stood out as among the best. The write up talks about eliminating the need to run to the store to buy bottled dressing but more cooks will have milk or buttermilk and cider vinegar on hand rather than the ingredients listed here. To season this a bit, mustard powder and Creole seasoning was added. This dressing is very good for what it is, but coleslaw that distinguishes itself from typical deli slaw is our preference.
Sharon Perez
very good. I used 1/2 cup plain greek yogart and 1/2 cup mayonnaise instead of a full cup of mayo. My family loved it!
Vincent Campbell
Made this for dinner coleslaw and it was great. I did add poppy seeds also. Thanks.
Curtis Bonilla
DELICIOUS! I used 1/2 and 1/2 instead of heavy cream b/c that’s what I had on hand. Also, I started out w/ 1/4 cup of the vinegar (personally, 1/2 cup seemed like it would be a bit much), and that was perfect for us. Loved the addition of the poppy seeds in this. I will def be using this recipe again~YUM! Thanks for sharing. 🙂
