KITTENCAL'S FAMOUS COLESLAW



Kittencal's Famous Coleslaw image

This is the most delicious coleslaw that you will ever have! I make this for weddings, large socials and in the summer for BBQ's and parties, and there is never anything left it all goes and everyone wants the recipe --- plan ahead the coleslaw needs to be refrigerated for the stated time to blend the flavors, this coleslaw will intensify in flavor with chilling time --- this is not a thick heavy dressing like some other coleslaw recipes it's the perfect texture and flavor and what makes this coleslaw stand out from all others is the fresh lemon juice so please use only fresh I have used bottled in the past and it is just not the same --- the dressing amount will yield enough for two 16-ounce packages prepared coleslaw mix or 1 head of green cabbage --- for one 16-ounce package prepared coleslaw mix use the dressing amounts posted on bottom of recipe and add in 3 or more large of chopped green onions.

Time 15m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 cups shredded cabbage (you can use green and red cabbage)
3 carrots, peeled and shredded
2 bunches radishes, thinly sliced in rounds
1 1/2 cups mayonnaise
1 tablespoon mustard
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
1/4-1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
salt and pepper

Tips:

  • To achieve the best flavor, use a combination of green and purple cabbage. Shred the cabbage thinly using a sharp knife or a food processor fitted with a shredding disc.
  • Use a variety of vegetables to add color, texture, and flavor to your coleslaw. Some popular choices include shredded carrots, bell peppers, red cabbage, and chopped celery.
  • Make sure to drain the cabbage and vegetables thoroughly after shredding or chopping to remove excess moisture. This will help to prevent the coleslaw from becoming watery.
  • For a creamy coleslaw, use a mayonnaise-based dressing. For a lighter option, use a vinegar-based dressing. You can also use a combination of mayonnaise and vinegar to create a dressing that is both creamy and tangy.
  • Season the coleslaw to taste with salt, pepper, and other spices. Common additions include celery seeds, caraway seeds, and dill weed.
  • Chill the coleslaw for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. This will also help to make the coleslaw more crisp and refreshing.
