Summer Cookout: Creamy, Sweet, Southern Cole Slaw {Recipe}
Sunday, August 3, 2014
This recipe for a sweet and creamy Cole Slaw is about as Southern as it gets. It's excellent as a side for pork, brisket, smoked sausage-dogs, chicken, burgers, and sandwiches, or right on top of a pulled-pork BBQ sandwich, Memphis-style. It tastes very similar to the slaw of a certain three-letter chicken place, but I like my version so much better because I know exactly what's in it. ;)
It takes only about 15 minutes to prepare, but it needs to sit overnight in the fridge to marinate.

Ingredients:
For Slaw:
- 1/2 head of large cabbage, thinly shredded, then chopped
- 1 medium carrot, shredded
OR - 1 16oz. bag of prepped cole slaw cabbage mix
- 3 Tbsp. red onion, minced finely (onion-chopping hack)
- 1/2 cup mayo
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1-1/2 Tbsp. white vinegar
- 2 Tbsp. lemon juice
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/2 tsp. celery salt
- 1/4 tsp. pepper
Directions:
- If using a cabbage head, shred thinly on a mandolin slicer, then chop the shredded cabbage roughly with a large knife. If using bagged, shredded cabbage and carrots, chop the mix roughly until all large pieces are no larger than the size of a quarter. This makes the finished product much easier to eat as well as helps the sauce soak in.
- Whisk together all remaining ingredients in a large bowl until well combined.
- Add in cabbage and carrots and stir to coat.
- Cover in plastic wrap and put in refrigerator overnight.
- Stir well and enjoy!

That's it! It's so easy and delicious! It's the perfect side to prepare for your cookout, or if you need to bring a dish to someone else's. It's easily doubled by finishing the cabbage head, adding a carrot, and doubling the sauce ingredients. I hope you enjoy it!
