There are bound to be hundreds of comments, but for someone who has never made a coleslaw dressing before, this is a definitive start that will take that person to the place they need to go. Let's respect the cooks just starting on the culinary journey and allow them the space to see the basic formula.
I like to use half mayo and half Greek yoghurt, for a healthier version. You won’t notice the difference.
The concept is right but my coleslaw dressing has a lot more punch. 2 parts mayo (Duke’s or homemade) 1 part Dijon mustard Up to 1/3 part dill pickle juice Tony Chachares creole seasoning to taste I don’t add sweetener to the dressing because I like to use shredded carrots in my slaw. Carrots add enough sweetness to balance the flavor and give the slaw nice color.
I’ll try the recipe: it has ingredients we use in our recipe. The quick version used by our family for 70+ years: put shredded cabbage in a bowl & make a well in the center of the cabbage. Add a dollop or 2 -3 of mayonnaises to the well & smooth out to create a mayonnaise bowl. Add the sugar, salt, pepper & vinegar to this mayo bowl. The vinegar dissolvies the sugar & salt. Toss together & refrigerate. The whole dressing making / slaw process takes 1-2 minutes & 1 bowl & 1 spoon! Easiest ever!
Good base, like the simplicity. Mixed per recipe and found it mayo forward and a bit thick so added more vinegar. Can understand why others added pickle juice, horseradish, etc. But the celery seeds are in my opinion a critical ingredient.
If you don't have celery seeds, celery salt works as an ok substitute.
