When I was in culinary school, we had to come up with a coleslaw recipe. I thought this was a very simple task since to me, coleslaw seemed like a very simple dish. For the most part, this turned out to be true, but culinary school also forces you to think outside the lines and I came up with some pretty interesting (some not-so-much a hit) flavor combinations for my assignment. In any case, it made me realize there are many ways to think of even a simple and delicious dish like coleslaw. For some new twists and old favorites on this popular side dish, here are 16 coleslaw recipes to try at your next picnic.

How to Make Coleslaw Dressing

If you want to create your own coleslaw recipe, start with this basic coleslaw dressing and 5 – 6 cups of coleslaw mix, then start making changes to create your own variation on this timeless salad.

Basic Coleslaw Dressing Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons sugar

Directions:

  1. Add the mayonnaise, vinegar, and sugar to a small bowl.
  2. Stir until thoroughly combined.
  3. Spoon the dressing over the bowl of coleslaw mix and toss until evenly coated.

Substitutions: You can sub 1/2 cup of sour cream, buttermilk, or plain yogurt for the mayonnaise.

Variations: You can add 1/4 teaspoon of dry mustard, or a pinch of salt or pepper if you wish.

If you want to move beyond the basic coleslaw recipe, then check out the unique coleslaw recipes below.

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
