I wanted to bump this up because I cannot tell you how good it is with a grilled brat and stir-fried peppers and onions. So delicious.

I make it fairly regularly and I use
1/2 cup mayo, 1/2 cup cream
1/8 tsp white pepper, dash salt
1.5T distilled white vinegar
9 packets splenda
The juice of 2 lemons
Pack of coleslaw from the pre-washed salad area

I just made some for dinner tonight. All the non-LCers rave about it too.

better with broccoli slaw
 

It's even better with broccoli slaw mix in a bag. It stays crisp for a couple of days in the fridge and doesn't get soggy, and I like the taste better too.

like this:

Great coleslaw!

I followed the recipe with two exceptions: I used ¼ C of double cream (without the extra half-and-half) and I cut the Splenda to 3 packets.

So good!

This sounds so good. I love that kind of creamy slaw!

made this for fathers day weekend. man! it was sooo good. i tore that stuff up. i used heavy cream instead of half/half. i'm on my way back to the store 'cause i want to make some more. i also tried it with fresh shrimp in the mix. :yum: :yum: :yum:

This is the only recipe I've used for years. I always use HWC only and reduce the amount of sweetener. I make huge batches of it when I go away to visit family or camping. That way I know I always have a side dish to go lunch and dinner, or I just eat it on it's own. I need to make a huge batch because everybody else loves it too and wouldn't be too pleased if I kept it all to myself. When camping I just put it into a large good quality ziploc bag and put in the cooler. It saves space by keeping it in a ziploc bag.

An alternative - sugar free slaw
 

My husband raves over my recipe for this, you might like it too :)

Shredded cabbage (I buy pre-shredded angel hair cut cabbage)
celery seed
black pepper
sugar and salt free Maruchan brand rice wine vinegar
mayo

I mix the vinegar and mayo first (how much depends on your taste and how much cabbage you are using) - so it smells not too tart (I don't taste while making this), add a good amount of celery seed, the black pepper..mix all together well.
Add in cabbage, mix to coat. Refrigerate. Give this at least an hour or two to let the flavors meld. Even better the next day.

It's The Perfect Summer Salad
 

hey! i used rice vingar too. it was the only thing i had in the house. so that's what i used.

i have already been through another large bowl of this and i added a lot of fresh shrimp to it too to make it more of a meal.

well, now i have one last package of cabbage and i'm trying to hold off a few days before making it since i've been eating it like crazy, plus this time i want to add some fresh slices of jicama which i don't currently have so gotta go shoppping. my next version will have fresh sliced jicama and shrimp. dang...and all this time i didn't even think i liked coleslaw. :lol: :yum: :lol:

it's the perfect summer salad. :sunny:

I've always liked this recipe but never thought of adding shrimp & jicama.

Thanks for the great idea. Adding that to today's shopping list. Yum, perfect for a light dinner. It's too hot to cook!

i've been eating this coleslaw with shrimp & jimica all summer like crazy. i just love it and it's such a great go to meal when i'm in a rush and there's a big chilled bowl just waiting in the frige.

I make my own cole slaw, but one reason is that everyone makes cole slaw too danged SWEET. Sweetness ruins it for me. I'd never make this particular recipe because Splenda (or current sweetener of choice).

But I do make cole slaw that has no sweeteners at all in it, and everyone loves it who has tried it. Time to make it again!

Splenda alternative?
 

Would love to try this recipe but cannot use Splenda. Would no calorie Truvia work as well?

Yes, it should work just fine :thup:. However, I would adjust the amount of sweetener "to taste" ... you might find you need less truvia than the amount of splenda called for.

By the way, I have made similar recipe using sour cream instead of half & half (reduce vinegar & lemon juice to 1 Tbsp each), with very good result :idea:

Oh yum! I'll try it both ways! Thx, doreen!

Making this with sour cream will be brilliant! I don't like mayo anymore, so a little sour cream sounds just right!

This should be called 'Goldilocks Coleslaw' because it's so adaptable to anyone's taste.
