The Best Cole Slaw You’ll Ever Eat

This Cole Slaw recipe comes from a family friend and my parents have been making it for years. I like a vinegar slaw but creamy cole slaw will always have my heart.

This recipe is good to eat after making it but I do recommend letting it sit in the refrigerator for at least a few hours. Really letting the flavors mix together and have time to sit makes it even more delicious. I usually make it a day ahead of when I plan on having so it’s ready when we need it.

Here is what the Cole Slaw looks like after first mixing everything together… So yummy

One of our favorite ways to enjoy this slaw recipe is on top of our homemade pulled pork sandwiches, so good.

Here is the Cole Slaw after sitting over night

Ingredients

  • 1 bag of slaw mix
  • 1/2-1 green bell pepper finely chopped
  • 1-2 tablespoons red onion grated
  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/8 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/8 cup dijon mustard
  • 1/2 tablespoon celery seed
  • 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper

Directions

  1. Put your slaw mix, green bell pepper and red onion in a medium sized bowl and set aside.
  2. Add the rest of your ingredients to a smaller bowl and whisk to combine, then pour over your veggie mix.
  3. Stir everything together and store in and airtight container in the fridge, for 4 hours to over night. This will last in the fridge for a few days!

Tips: You can always make your own cole slaw mix by chopping up cabbage and carrots, I just find using the mix so much easier.

This recipe makes a good amount for one family but if you plan on making it for a crowd I would definitely double it.
