My Mom's Dressing for Cole Slaw
This cole slaw dressing is a made-from-scratch dressing the way my Mom makes it. She's been whipping up this dressing for our family for many years. She uses it as a dressing for both cole slaw as well as potato salad from time to time. It's a delicious and different take on a sweet homemade dressing for cole slaw.
Helpful Tips to Keep in Mind
- There's no need to fret, the eggs fully cook in this dressing on the stovetop. As you whisk the dressing, it will continue to cool and gently cook the egg.
- It's important to temper the egg yolks to prevent them from becoming stringy when adding the the hot mixture.
- After the dressing has cooled pour it over the chopped coleslaw mix and green onions, mixing well.
- Taste and adjust the salt and pepper, if needed, and stir well before serving.
- Let the cole slaw chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
