To those who make their own home-made slaw, what is your favorite bottled dressing or recipe?!
Thank you!
Answers: I'm going to "cheat" with a bag of precut veggies, but I would like either a recipe or a brand name of some really good, tried and true cole slaw dressing. (Our all-time favorite fast-food slaw is KFC's, but with all the stomach bugs and flu that starts making the rounds this time of year, we generally try not to eat out.)
Thank you!
Green Slaw (coleslaw)

Prepare dressing with remaining ingredients. Stir well to dissolve sugar. Pour over cabbage; toss lightly. Chill. Yield: 6 servings
ape,s recipe is great, if you want it a little more like KFC then also add about two tablespoons of sour cream.
KFC has the best slaw for a take out place.
i make my own slaw dressing: 2 tbsp miracle whip or mayo
1 tsp dijon mustard, 1tbsp sugar, and 1tsp of milk for creamy slaw..
mix all them together and u may need to adjust the mayo, or milk for the slaw but it is delicious and the longer it sits in the fridge the better it tastes...

I stay away from precut veggies due to the contamination threat. I just buy a head of cabbage and using a sharp knife and cutting board, make short work of it. Here's my homemade slaw dressing (quite low-fat):
2 cups of Dannon low-fat yogurt drained for 2 hours (I use a #6 coffee filter and metal filter holder)
3 tbs cider vinegar
3 tbs fresh lemon juice
2 tbs honey
1 tbs whole-grain mustard
1 tsp celery seed
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
Mix ingredients in bowl using a wisk. Pour over cabbage and mix well. Allow to marinate in refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
I don't care for coleslaw, but I wanted to share a little secret with you. I used to work at a "home cooking" type of resturant, famous for it's coleslaw...everyone RAVED about it. Want to know what made all the difference? We made just standard coleslaw, no frills, and then added in a palmful of celery seed.
Hope you can use that tip! :)
I use :
1) purple onions -- for more color
2) Heinz salad cream - i hate mayo
3) black pepper - in place of ordinary pepper
4) add some honey - coz salad cream is a little sour
It tastes best if it is left overnight, just like the coleslaws we have in Kenny Rogers.
KFC coleslaw? Ewww.....
