Think this is much healthier than creamy cole slaw. Tastier too.

I have yet to make this but am wondering, how long does it last in the fridge?

Is the nutrition information per serving or is it for the whole recipe?

Thanks for this, I will try it and let you know how it goes.

I grew up on this simple slaw. When my parents took me to a restaurant the first time and I ordered cole slaw, I thought this is what I was going to get. I was shocked that they ruined good slaw with a mayo-based dressing. Now I can make a proper slaw the way my mom used to make it.

I have been making this slaw for quite sometime now,but I do not use vegetable oil,instead I use a light olive oil…..I also put in thinly sliced,then chopped onion….delish!!!!

This is tasty! I would recommend letting the dressing cool prior to pouring it on the veggies.

Thanks for this! I needed a coleslaw that would work with a green apple. This was great! I didn’t have white vinegar, so I used apple cider vinegar. I added a drizzle of honey instead of sugar. Congrats on your wedding! I hope everything was just as you wanted it to be!

This is a staple salad that I’ve been eating my whole life! Usually, any kind of greens and salads, we just use oil and vinegar instead of salad dressing! It took me a long time to get used to using salad dressings on salad instead of my plain oil and vinegar!

Looks and sounds refreshing and delicious. Thanks for sharing your recipe, a nice change for the regular slaw for sure.

I TOO have an unhealthy aversion to mayo based salads. My mother, a true Southern Belle and avid practitioner of Duke’s Mayo, would believe that I’d been switched at birth were it not for the fact that I look exactly like her. I’ve been experimenting with using other bases for the salads and have had some AMAZING results. I’ve often wanted to try coleslaw, but the mayo has ALWAYS deterred me. I’ll definitely try this one out. Thanks!

I love this! So simple but it sounds like the perfect base to add different flavors to. Can’t wait till my cabbages are ready to try this out :)

Just had to check it out! Sounds good!

This is a great alternative to the creamy coleslaw that we usually see! Sounds like a great simple recipe – thanks so much:-)

Though I like mayo dressing, I’m trying to stay away from it to make it lighter & healthier. And this looks just the kind – crisp & fresh!!

This is my kind of coleslaw. I used to like mayo-based dressings, but have turned away from them more and more over the years.

It’s amazing how the simple dishes are always the tastiest…this looks delicious! I love vinaigrette coleslaws.

hmmm…. all that is missing is the cap, cheese and mancini bread! how does this compare to the real thing? i found a copycat recipe online awhile ago, but was afraid of being disappointed…..

I keep reading about how you dislike mayonnaise and I can totally relate. It completely grosses me out especially the commercial types. Try this one from Spectrum. This is the only one that does not gross me out. It’s canola mayonnaise http://www.spectrumorganics.com/?id=57
Or you can always try making your own. It’s eggs and oil I think. I never tried it but you seem to like oil judging from the above post and I think you may like this idea. I’ve been contemplating it myself. Especially when I just saw all the flavored mayonnaise(s) spectrum has.

French fries, cole slaw………I know where this is going!! You’re making me ‘Burgh sick!

I’ve never seen coleslaw made this way, what a great change-up from the creamy kind! And, I’ll be looking forward to what you’ll be using this in with french fries.. :-)

What a great simple idea! I have a party to prepare this weekend and this will be a great option! Thanks for sharing.

Sounds lovely, looks great!

The simpler the coleslaw, the better – so I’m absolutely loving this!

The first time I made this was 28 years ago for my wedding so I didnt kill people with mayo haha This is fantastic how you have changed it up a bit YUMMERS ♥

I love the simplicity!

Okay, WHAT that looks SO AMAZING!
I just made some honey chocolate avocado pudding but this…now this, is awesome!
Thanks!!

Looks nice and light!

I make the same coleslaw without sugar for a falafel condiment. The tang goes oh so well with the nutty goodness that is falafel! :-)

This sounds delicious, light and simple!

I make a similar coleslaw with some toasted slivered almonds tossed in for crunch.

Delicious!

You would probably like the slaw at Smoque in Chicago (http://www.smoquebbq.com/). They use pickle juice in their recipe. Pickle juice, poppy seeds, some vinegar, red onion…I can’t remember what else might be in there. It’s been a long while since I’ve had the slaw there. Sadly.

Well since Heidi spoiled the surprise for all the non-burghers :P

Still curious to see which one you choose to create.

mmm… coleslaw is the perfect condiment for hot dogs! Perfect for summer!

I think it’s sammich time, sammich time. I have a feeling Primanti Bros. won’t have a thing on yours. Yay!!! I miss them sooooo much.

ooooh I recognize THESE INGREDIENTS!!! :) :)

I love mine with capicola and cheese! I’m heading into town for the weekend, and I think it’s on the menu!!!

Love that this recipe is already healthified for me ;)

Oh I love a good coleslaw! Especially one with sunflower seeds and raisins :)

This is a great summer bbq recipe. Yum!

What a nice alternative to the usual creamy coleslaw! I can’t wait to see how you are going to put the fries and coleslaw together in one dish… HMMM??
