Categories     Vegetable

Time 6m

Yield 1 big bowl, 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 cups Miracle Whip
1/3 cup horseradish
1 tablespoon dill
1 tablespoon black pepper (finely ground)
1 tablespoon celery seed
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon dry mustard
1 gallon prepared coleslaw mix

Steps:

  • Mix all ingredients except the cabbage mix and refrigerate overnight.
  • Mix in cabbage mix 2 hours prior to serving, and refrigerate.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cabbage: Green cabbage is the most common type used in coleslaw, but you can also use red cabbage or a combination of both. Red cabbage will give your coleslaw a beautiful purple hue.
  • Shred the cabbage finely: This will help the dressing to coat the cabbage evenly.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: In addition to cabbage, you can add other vegetables to your coleslaw, such as carrots, celery, onions, and bell peppers.
  • Make your own dressing: A simple vinaigrette made with mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, and salt and pepper is all you need to make a delicious coleslaw dressing.
  • Let the coleslaw chill: After you've made the coleslaw, let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help the flavors to meld together.

Conclusion:

Coleslaw is a versatile side dish that can be served with a variety of meals. It's also a great way to use up leftover cabbage and other vegetables. 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 side dish that's both delicious and healthy, give coleslaw a try!
