THE BEST CREAMY COLESLAW (GOURMET MAG)
Let me first say that as a general rule, I don't like coleslaw. However, this coleslaw is AMAZING and is a far cry from the limp, sugary, slop that is on most menus. It pairs perfectly on top of a pulled pork sandwich or as a side dish with any other BBQ or picnic fare. It has just the right balance of sweet and tart. The recipe is from the June 2008 issue of Gourmet Magazine and is by far the greatest and freshest out there. Note: I can only guarantee results by chopping up your own cabbage as the recipe calls for... I haven't used one of those pre-shredded coleslaw mixes and don't know how it will turn out if you decide to take that shortcut. *Cook time is "refrigeration" time.

THE BEST COLESLAW DRESSING--NO KIDDING!
I was so sick of the tasteless bottled coleslaw dressings in the grocery store. One day I was eating my favorite "Broccoli Salad" and thought--this tastes similar to coleslaw and so I tried it and--yep, it was exactly the taste I was looking for. Yum!

GRANDMA'S BEST COLESLAW
This simple coleslaw recipe was Grandma's standby. You couldn't have a picnic without it. It was almost always in her refrigerator ready to eat.

ANGIE'S DAD'S BEST CABBAGE COLESLAW
Found this recipe on another site, my compliments to Dot. This is a fabulous recipe. Quick and easy. Its good the same day but, make a least a day ahead, up two weeks ahead it's flavor only gets better.It does stays crunchy. People that don't eat coleslaw like this one. Prep time does not include time to marinade. If you use the packaged shredded cabbage it only takes 5 minutes.

THE BEST COLESLAW
This is a recipe I got from Guy Fierri, it was a recipe from one of the restaurants he went to on Diners, drive-ins and dives. Yummy and simple! I of course made a little change to cut down on fat. I replaced most of the mayo with fat free greek yogurt. But it was delicious!

THE BEST COLESLAW!
Every time I make this and bring it somewhere people tell me this is the Best Coleslaw Ever!!! So, that is how it got its name! If you can't find Jimmy's dressing I am sure you can use Marzetti's. Do not use the fat free kind it just is not very good.

Tips for Making the Best Coleslaw:
- Use a variety of cabbage. Different types of cabbage, such as green cabbage, red cabbage, and Savoy cabbage, will give your coleslaw different flavors and textures. Experiment with different combinations to find your favorite blend.
- Shred the cabbage thinly. This will help the coleslaw dressing to penetrate the cabbage and make it more flavorful.
- Add other vegetables. Carrots, celery, and onion are all popular additions to coleslaw. You can also add other vegetables that you like, such as broccoli, cauliflower, or bell peppers.
- Use a creamy dressing. A creamy dressing will help to bind the coleslaw together and make it more flavorful. You can use a store-bought dressing or make your own using mayonnaise, sour cream, or yogurt.
- Add some vinegar. Vinegar will help to brighten the flavors of the coleslaw and keep it from becoming too heavy.
- Season to taste. Salt and pepper are essential seasonings for coleslaw, but you can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or celery seed.
- Chill the coleslaw before serving. This will help the flavors to meld and make the coleslaw even more refreshing.
Conclusion:
Coleslaw is a versatile side dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It's perfect for picnics, potlucks, and backyard barbecues. With so many different recipes to choose from, you're sure to find a coleslaw that you'll love. So next time you're looking for a simple and delicious side dish, give coleslaw a try.
