Mamas Classic Coleslaw Recipes

Steps:

• Remove and discard tough outer leaves from the green cabbage. Cut the head in half, cutting through the core. Use the tip of the knife to remove the core from both halves, then cut each half into quarters. Slice each quarter thinly into short strips. Repeat with the red cabbage and place both in a large bowl.
• Whisk together the mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar and celery seeds in a small bowl, then season with salt and pepper. Add more sugar as desired. Toss the cabbage with half the dressing, then lay in a shallow dish (a 9-by-13-inch baking dish works well). Cover and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.
• Once cabbage has marinated in the dressing, taste and add reserved dressing as desired. Add the carrots and parsley and toss to combine.

Steps:

• Prepare the vegetables by slicing, shredding or grating very thin.
• Toss the vegetable ingredients to mix well.
• Prepare the dressing by whisking together the vinegar, mayonnaise, sugar, salt and pepper.
• Fold the dressing into the tossed vegetables and refrigerate, covered, for at least 2 hours.
• May be made ahead. Toss occasionally to keep the dressing distributed over the vegetables.

Steps:

• Whisk apple cider vinegar, canola oil, sugar, dry mustard, poppy seeds, black pepper, salt, and hot pepper sauce in a bowl, stirring until sugar has dissolved.
• Mix cabbage with carrots in a large salad bowl and pour dressing over slaw. Stir to coat. Refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving.

Steps:

• Mix cabbage, apple, carrot and onion in a large mixing bowl. The apple is optional, but I would advise trying it, it makes the coleslaw so much better. Dice the apple into a bowl of salted, warm water first and let it sit for a minute or two, then drain. This keeps it from turning brown and the slaw can be kept for two to three days in the refrigerator if you have leftovers.
• For the dressing, combine the sugar, water and vinegar and microwave for about 3 minutes or cook over medium heat in a saucepan until it comes to a boil and boil for a minute or two. Set aside and cool completely. You can place it in the refrigerator to cool it faster.
• Once cool, stir in the mayonnaise, the honey mustard and the yellow mustard. Pour the dressing mixture over the shredded cabbage and other ingredients and mix well. This is best if you refrigerate for at least 2 hours for the flavors to blend. Stir again right before serving.

Steps:

• For the slaw: Combine the cabbage, carrots and red onions in a large bowl and toss gently.
• For the dressing: Whisk together the mayonnaise, buttermilk, dry rub, vinegar, sugar and salt to taste (about 1/2 teaspoon) in a bowl until smooth.
• Add the dressing to the slaw and toss gently until completely coated. Cover and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours before serving.
• Combine the brown sugar and cornstarch in a bowl and mix by hand until the lumps are gone. (This is a great trick for preventing clumps in brown sugar.)
• Combine the paprika, garlic salt, seasoned salt, 1 cup of the brown sugar mixture, the granulated sugar, chili powder, black and white peppers, allspice, cayenne, cumin and mustard powder in a large bowl. Mix until well blended. Apply the rub liberally to meats with a shaker prior to smoking, for a true Kansas City BBQ taste.

Steps:

• Mix everything together and pour over your cabbage mixture.
