Basic Cole Slaw

July 2, 2011 by pictureperfectcooking

C loves Cole slaw so I try to add it to a meal at least once a week.  I usually take the easy route, like this recipe, and buy the shredded mix and make the dressing.  Soon, I hope to make it completely from scratch and add my own touch to the vegetable mix and dressing, but for now, I will stick with the quick and easy way!

1 package Cole slaw mix (This one has green cabbage, red cabbage, and carrots.)

1/2 cup mayonnaise (I use light.)

2 tbsp apple cider vinegar

1/2 tsp sugar

2 tbsp milk

salt & pepper to taste

In a large bowl, combine the mayo, vinegar, sugar, and milk.

Stir in the slaw mix.  Add the salt and pepper to taste.  Chill until ready to serve.

This makes a fairly dry slaw, so if you like yours wet, make a double batch of the dressing.

I am linking this recipe at Miz Helen’s Country Cottage’s Full Plate Thursday.

    Nice basic recipe–the world needs more of these recipes. I’d probably just shred my own and add red cabbage and carrot to the mix.
