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 complement your most favorite entrees from grilled hot dogs to smoky barbecue.

Easy Homestyle Cole Slaw Dressing Recipe

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 for it’s varied uses. 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.

How to Make the Best Homestyle Cole Slaw Dressing

To keep things simple, this is the dressing you can use to dress a bag of slaw mix from the produce department at the grocery store. If you want to make the slaw from scratch using fresh ingredients you can certainly do so. Cooking doesn’t have to complicated to be good.

Ingredients you’ll need to make homemade Cole Slaw Dressing: Miracle Whip, buttermilk, vinegar, onion powder, granulated garlic or garlic powder, granulated sugar, celery salt, dry tarragon, black pepper and celery seed.
Kitchen tools you’ll need: A medium bowl, whisk, sharp knife and cutting board or food processor if you’re making your own cabbage-slaw mix and measuring cups and spoons.
For a time saver, this cole slaw dressing can be prepared a couple of days in advance. When doing so, place it into an airtight container and keep it well chilled in the refrigerator. Give it a good stir before tossing with the cole slaw mix several hours before you plan to serve it.
If a more lightly dressed cole slaw is your pleasure, add more slaw mix or cabbage to the dressing and toss. If you like a heavily dressed slaw, use less.
Keep in mind that the vegetable ingredients will break down a bit when dressed as the salt in the dressing draws out the liquid from the cabbage. So, sometimes slaw will look under dressed until it’s had some chill time to begin to incorporate with the dressing. Give it some time and stir before making any adjustments.
Store Homestyle Cole Slaw in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Stir well before serving.
