Homemade Coleslaw

How to Make Your Own Coleslaw

My recipe was inspired by the 'Sweet Restaurant Slaw' recipe from Sandi Gregory Johnson on allrecipes.com. I wanted to share our love for this coleslaw recipe since it is a must with our ranch burgers and thousand island dressing.

Homemade Coleslaw

1 head of cabbage, sliced thin or shredded

1 carrot, peeled and shredded

1 1/3 mayonnaise

6 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 cup sugar

2 tablespoons white vinegar

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon poppy seeds

Place shredded cabbage and carrot in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, add remaining ingredients and whisk well. Pour over cabbage and carrot mixture. Toss until well coated. Cover and refrigerate. Allow one hour to set. Serves 16. 

We always make a full head of lettuce because we really don't mind eating up the leftover coleslaw on it's own. Also, if you like a crunch to your coleslaw I'd recommend slicing it thin using a mandolin or simple slicer instead of a shredder.
