NANA'S SOUTHERN COLESLAW

Just an old family recipe that I have been told is reminiscent of KFC coleslaw. You be the judge! To speed things up I sometimes just buy an already shredded bag of cabbage with carrots in it and then just chop it a little finer.

Time 5m

Yield 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup cream or 1 cup milk
4 tablespoons Miracle Whip (or mayonnaise)
4 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
4 tablespoons sugar
salt (to taste)
pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • Mix together the cream and Miracle Whip.
  • Add vinegar,, sugar, salt and pepper, whipping with a whisk until totally blended.
  • Pour over 1/2 head cabbage and refrigerate for several hours, stirring occasionally.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Freshly shredded cabbage and carrots will give your coleslaw a crisp, refreshing texture.
  • Use a sharp knife or mandoline to thinly slice the cabbage and carrots. This will help them absorb the dressing better and make the coleslaw easier to eat.
  • If you don't have time to make your own mayonnaise, you can use store-bought mayonnaise instead. Just be sure to choose a high-quality mayonnaise that is made with real eggs.
  • Add some chopped celery or onion to the coleslaw for extra flavor and crunch. You can also add some chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley, dill, or cilantro.
  • Season the coleslaw to taste with salt and pepper. You can also add a pinch of sugar to balance out the acidity of the vinegar.
  • Let the coleslaw chill for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the coleslaw to become more flavorful.

Conclusion:

Nana's Southern Coleslaw is a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it creamy, tangy, or sweet, Nana's Southern Coleslaw is sure to please everyone at your table.
