Frozen Coleslaw

Recipe #43671 | 1½ hours | 1½ hours prep

We usually prefer slaws with creamy dressings, but we've never found one that freezes. This is a recipe passed on to me from Mom and has been a delicious alternative so we could use up the extra cabbage (after making sauerkraut of course) from the garden. I am posting it to assist with a discussion on the boards. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do! Prep time includes time cabbage mixture has to stand before adding dressing.

I've been making this recipe for years and it's always a winner. A great way to use cabbage from the garden. Great sweet/sour taste.

    I was glad I read the review before making the salad. That way I knew that reducing the sugar to 1/2 cup would work. Indeed, a very nice salad, good to have handy in the freezer, thaws quickly, will certainly make it again.

    This cole slaw is a winner! It has such a sweet pickley flavour! I have had requests for the recipe from family and friends. It thaws so quickly and it makes a great last minute addition to a meal.
