Looking for Coleslaw recipes

I use low-fat mayo and a little vinegar with a sprinkle of celery seeds. I actually use Miracle Whip but that's just me, I don't think most people like it as well as mayo :-)

I honestly think its just what you grew up with, just like gas grill vs charcoal

I agree! We grew up with nothing but Miracle Whip, so that's what I use too! Light is the best. It's my one weakness that I've really had a hard time curbing! I put MW on EVERYTHING! I hate ketchup! :-)

I use non-fat yogurt (a heaping tablespoon) and regular mayo (1 tablespoon) with vinegar and spices. Made a Thai slaw the other night, added a little peanut sauce, a drop of sesame oil and a bit of chili oil. Oh, lime juice, too.

Start with homemade full fat mayo made with half canola and half olive oil (not evoo) Once you get good at making your own mayo you'll be able to make it in very small quantities and still get a good emulsification I can make a half a cup of mayo with a half an egg yolk

whisk a couple spoons of mayo with an equal part buttermilk or regular milk that has lemon juice or vinegar added to it- if you like the slaw with a runnier dressing then add more buttermilk, this saves calories too.

a bit of non fat greek yogurt

lemon juice and vinegar to taste salt and pepper to taste

a teensy bit of sugar.

I make the dressing more runny so that most of it just sort of drains to the bottom

We use a poppyseed salad dressing (i think its a Kraft dressing) and sprinkle sunflower seeds on it! Super good.

I don't have an exact recipe, i just add ingredients as I go...but switch out 1/2 of the amount of mayo for non-fat greek yogurt...mix the yougurt and low fat mayo together and use splenda or truia, whichever you prefer instead of sugar. It will taste as if you used full mayo and full sugar...as you get used to the idea of mixing the yougurt with mayo, start gradually increasing the ration of yogurt until all you use is yogurt...it has to be greek yogurt, which is thicker and creamier than other yogurts and higher in protein

this works well also for chciken salad and tuna salad...

This was posted on here last week. I made it and loved it. Very easy and very very good. I just left out the avacodos.
