MARINATED COLESLAW



Marinated Coleslaw image

This recipe was given to my mother by a dear friend. I use pre-packaged slaw mix that has the carrots already in it and just add the onions. Also, I use Canola oil instead of Crisco. This can be made "days" in advance as it gets better as it sits.

2 (1 lb) packages coleslaw mix

2/3 cup Crisco cooking oil (I use canola oil)

Steps:

  • Bring to boil, cider vinegar, oil, sugar, salt & garlic powder, stirring.

SPECTACULAR OVERNIGHT COLE SLAW



Spectacular Overnight Cole Slaw image

This has to be one of the most flavorful coleslaws I have ever made. The flavors blend wonderfully. The addition of olives is a welcome surprise in the flavor. The best part is make ahead. Most slaws I have to wait till time to serve to add the dressing. This gets better overnite, so it is great to make ahead and out the door. Or it is one more dish you can get done the day before company coming, which is what I love. But irregardless of all those perks, it is a dish that I would make even if it was a little bit of a pain. Hope you enjoy it.

Provided by Kitcatrenee

Categories     < 15 Mins

Time 10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/8 cup Splenda granular (sugar substitute)
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon celery seed
1 teaspoon garlic salt

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar substitute, lemon juice, vinegar, celery seed and garlic salt. Add cabbage & slice green onions. Toss lightly, cover and refrigerate overnight. Add sliced radishes immediately before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality cabbage: Use fresh, crisp cabbage for the best flavor and texture. Look for cabbages that are heavy for their size and have tightly packed leaves.
  • Shred the cabbage thinly: This will help the slaw absorb the dressing better and make it easier to eat. You can use a food processor fitted with a shredding disc or a sharp knife to shred the cabbage.
  • Use a flavorful dressing: The dressing is what really makes coleslaw special, so don't be afraid to experiment with different flavors. Some popular options include mayonnaise-based dressings, vinegar-based dressings, and creamy dressings.
  • Add some extras: Feel free to add other vegetables or fruits to your coleslaw, such as carrots, celery, apples, or raisins. You can also add some herbs, spices, or nuts for extra flavor.
  • Make it ahead of time: Coleslaw is a great make-ahead dish. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, so you can make it ahead of time for a party or potluck.

Conclusion:

Coleslaw is a versatile and delicious side dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways.
