Coleslaw. Great-tasting coleslaw from scratch, plus new twists on bagged slaw, and slaw from apples, carrots, even beets.. Sweet Sesame Slaw, Lemony Cabbage-Avocado Slaw, Szybka Surowka z Czerwonej Kapusty (Polish Red Cabbage Slaw), Easy Asian Cole Slaw, Sweet, Hot Mustard Slaw Mayo dressing is the classic when it comes to coleslaw. We find that mayo based dressing can sometimes be overly heavy or cloyingly sweet and fatty.
We have homemade coleslaw at least once a week, usually with fish, and often with burgers or hot dogs.
This coleslaw recipe (our way of preparing it) is ridiculously easy with cabbage, carrot, and onions gently mixed and coated with mayonnaise, a dab of yellow mustard (which by the way is just Dijon mustard with some added turmeric), vinegar, and black pepper.
This coleslaw is a great side dish to bring to summer potlucks, and pairs well with recipes like Slow Cooker Pulled Pork, tacos (especially fish tacos), lunch wraps with deli meat, hot dogs, and more.

For me, this is the best coleslaw recipe because a package of shredded cabbage and carrots really cuts down on prep time. This creamy coleslaw recipe is great for potlucks or to serve to your family on a busy weeknight. —Renee Endress, Galva, Illinois If the coleslaw seems dry, add a little more of the dressing. Eat right away or let it sit in the refrigerator for about an hour to let the flavors mingle and the cabbage to soften.
