Fresh cabbage dressed with Homestyle Cole Slaw Dressing is so versatile you’ll find yourself returning to it over and over again. It takes only minutes to whip-up and it’s certain to compliment your most favorite entrees from grilled hot dogs to smoky barbecue.
Homestyle Cole Slaw Dressing
In my opinion, cole slaw goes with almost everything. In the South you might find it on top of chili dogs, barbecue, Southern fried chicken or alongside a simple bowl of pinto beans and cornbread. The sky’s the limit. It’s pretty much considered a must-have side dish for picnics and potluck parties. To me, it just never gets old and the crunchy texture makes it a welcome addition to any meal.
Tips For Make Ahead Preparation
For a time saver, this dressing can be prepared a couple of days in advance. When doing so, you can have it ready to dress the slaw the same day you want to serve it. If when making this, you think you may like a more lightly dressed slaw, simply add additional shredded cole slaw to the mix. Cooking doesn’t have to complicated to be good. You may alsao like to try another Southern staple called Chowchow. See the recipe from Southern Living here.

October 7, 2014 at 4:56 pmThanks Melissa, for taking me down memory lane! My mother made coleslaw dressing very similar to this except she used PET evaporated milk instead of buttermilk (I have no idea why) and often used pickle juice instead of the vinegar! Yes, she was a Southern cook too! I will have to try your version!
