Classic Creamy Coleslaw Recipe for Summer BBQs

This is my mom’s classic coleslaw recipe, and it’s delicious. It’s not exact—taste as you go to get the texture and sweetness you prefer. I like mine really creamy and slightly sweet.

Bowl of creamy cole slaw.

Ingredients:
– Cabbage
– Apple cider vinegar
– Sugar
– Miracle Whip Light (or preferred mayonnaise-style dressing)
– Milk

Directions:

1. Finely shred the cabbage using a food processor or a sharp knife.

2. Transfer the shredded cabbage to a large bowl. Add a few tablespoons of Miracle Whip Light, then splash in apple cider vinegar and sprinkle with sugar. Add a little milk to thin the dressing to your desired consistency. Mix well and taste, adjusting the vinegar, sugar, or dressing until it suits your preference.

Notes:

– For a creamier slaw, increase the Miracle Whip or mayonnaise slightly. For a tangier slaw, add more apple cider vinegar. For sweeter slaw, add a bit more sugar.

– This recipe is flexible—additions like grated carrot, thinly sliced onion, or a squeeze of lemon can enhance flavor if you like.
