COLESLAW RECIPE - 2 WAYS | classic coleslaw + vinegar coleslaw (no mayo coleslaw)

Learn how to make coleslaw two ways! An easy, creamy coleslaw recipe + a vinegar based coleslaw (no mayo coleslaw). Homemade coleslaw is the perfect side dish for summer parties, potlucks and barbecues. My recipe is light, flavorful and has far less sugar than you’ll find in store-bought versions or from KFC.

Coleslaw is a great recipe to make ahead for meal prep and it will last for 3-5 days in the fridge. Cabbage is extremely healthy, so enjoy what I consider to be the best coleslaw recipe!

When I was little, my grandfather would use pineapple juice to sweeten the dressing for the coleslaw. I love it!
Thank you for sharing this recipe! ❣️

We just tried both (with and without mayo), and they were both delicious. Thank you for such a beautiful presentation.

I made the vinegar version and added a little sesame oil. Gives a great nutty flavor. Turned out fantastic. Thank you.

Thank you lovely lady, I was preparing coleslaw tonight to go with our fish and realized I didn't have any mayo. You saved the day and showed me that you don't need mayo for coleslaw salads. Greetings from Toronto.

I actually have been mixing both versions and adding lemon juice, with red onion, oregano, and Catalina dressing. I am so stuck on this!🥰😍

Hi, I love coleslaw & wanted to make my own for the very 1st time! I made the mayo based coleslaw. I didn’t have celery seed so I used 1/4 tspn of celery salt in place of 1/4 tspn of salt. I added 2 stalks of celery-finely chopped because I love celery! This was honestly the best tasting coleslaw I’ve ever eaten & I’ve had a lot! Thank you so much for sharing your recipes! I’ll be making the oil & vinegar based one next!! 😍

Great recipe!! I salted the cabbage first, put in a Callander over a large bowl and let it sit in the refrigerator for 2 hours. Lots of extra moisture seeped out. Then I rinsed the cabbage mixture really well and transferred it to a salad spinner to remove all of the excess moisture from the rinsing. I used your mayo based dressing, exactly as your recipe stated (except I only used 1/8 tsp of salt). Voila!!! A wonderful tastings coleslaw, without the dressing getting soupy. Thank you.

I make both versions, but with a couple changes. For the creamy, I like to use only half of the mayo and replace it with plain Greek yogurt. For the vinegar, I sub out half the vinegar with lemon juice. These are delicious and folks really like them. Thanks for posting!!!

Thank you! I may add that slicing the cabbage using a vegetable peeler, makes it nice and thin, easy to chew and absorb the flavours.

I love cabbage slaw with vanilla yogurt and dried cranberries (craisins). I made shredded zucchini yellow squash and carrot slaw with plain greek yogurt and sliced bing cherries (pitted). Good for people who cannot digest the cabbage. You could also shred iceberg lettuce and serve it with Macintosh or Granny Smith apples that would be great with lemon greek yogurt and poppy seeds. 🙂

In the summer when we have home grown tomatoes all over the place, I dice a tomato over the slaw, the juice runs into the slaw, then add the diced tomato...different and adds such a fresh twist.

I always love the rich taste of coleslaw with mayo but I’ll definitely try the vinegar version. both look so fresh and yummy!

[vfahey]

Usually I think for a long time about which kind of cabbage to buy, red or green. Thanks to you, I found a brilliant solution: mix both types of cabbage at the same time!

[MichelleQuintiaVLOGS]

I would grate an apple to sweeten it instead of honey. 😊

[chuck]

Both great recipes. I have found for even lighter option you can remove the oil altogether. The sweetness from the ACV still comes thru, and you can always add a little hot sauce for flavour. 😋

[MissBerlinerin]

I once tried coleslaw with a dressing made out of yogurt. Lighter than mayonaise but still very tasty

[susansanderson]

Perfect non mayo recipie ....this has gone into my permanent stash of great recipies. Thank you!!

[TheCelestialhealer]

What can I say, I have said it many times, your style, presentation and recipes are sooo perfect and everything is beautiful.

[IIMajaTadeoII]

The vinegar and oil one is actually the typical way to make coleslaw in Germany!
