Blue Ribbon Coleslaw

I’m weird about coleslaw. I don’t like it from the deli and I don’t like it from that famous fast food chain with the chicken. As a matter of fact, cabbage and mayo just doesn’t do it for me. However, I love pulled pork sandwiches and was determined to make a blue ribbon coleslaw to go with it. This easy coleslaw recipe is what I came up with.

I wouldn’t say that this version of coleslaw is great for you, but it can be adapted to be better for you. Sometimes I’ll substitute Splenda for the sugar, but to be honest, it tastes better with the real thing.

Ingredients for Blue Ribbon Coleslaw:

  • 1/2 cup mayo
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 package prepared coleslaw mix

I like life to be easy, so I go with the prepared coleslaw mix. You can find it in the produce section with the premade salads. If you want to grate some cabbage and carrots, feel free to do that too!

You can also substitute regular white vinegar for the apple cider vinegar, but I think that apple cider vinegar makes it taste way better.

As I said above, substituting with a cup-for-cup artificial sweetener makes the coleslaw keto friendly, but the real thing tastes better. You could also use less sugar if you wanted to, but sugar balances out the tart of the cabbage and vinegar so the right amount is important.

Directions for Blue Ribbon Coleslaw:

Start by mixing al of the ingredients except the coleslaw mixture in a large bowl. I use a whisk to make it real smooth. This is your coleslaw dressing.

Next, open the package of coleslaw and pour a little bit in. Mix thoroughly until the coleslaw is coated with the dressing. Repeat this process until all of the coleslaw is mixed in.

Chill for at least 2 hours. While in the refrigerator, your coleslaw will become smaller and the dressing will get thinner. This is normal.

Stir the coleslaw every hour or so before serving. This helps to make sure that the dressing is evenly distributed among the cabbage.

That’s all there is to it! Now serve with some delicious pulled pork sandwiches or pulled pork tacos!

How long does coleslaw last in the refrigerator?

If you store it right (in a tightly sealed container), blue ribbon coleslaw will last up to 5 days in the refrigerator.

How do I make homemade coleslaw mix?

If pre-packaged coleslaw mix isn’t available, or you just want to make homemade coleslaw mix, you can make it from the following:

  • 1/2medium head cabbage, finely shredded or chopped (4 cups)
  • 1small carrot, shredded (1/2 cup)
  • 1small onion, chopped (1/4 cup)

Can I add variations to the coleslaw?

Sure! Half of the fun of cooking is changing up recipes. Ideas for mix-ins include raisins, bacon, walnuts, and apple slices. Essentially, you could make coleslaw an entire meal if you mixed it with the right things!
