Marinated Coleslaw

Recipe #31664 | 2 hours | 2 hours prep | add private note

By: Merlot

This recipe was given to my mother by a dear friend. I use pre-packaged slaw mix that has the carrots already in it and just add the onions. Also, I use Canola oil instead of Crisco. This can be made "days" in advance as it gets better as it sits.

SERVES 6 -8 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Bring to boil, cider vinegar, oil, sugar, salt & garlic powder, stirring.
  2. 2
    Pour the hot dressing over the 2 lbs of cabbage mixture and onions and stir (It will look like there is not enough dressing for the amount of cabbage, but as the cabbage breaks down, you will have plenty).
  3. 3
    Cover tightly.
  4. 4
    Let sit on the counter for 2 hours (stirring occasionaly during the 2 hours while it marinates), then refrigerate.

It's very rare for my DH to rate anything more than 3 star but he gave this a 6! I halfed the recipe since it's just us but I know I'll make a lot more next time! I used Broccoli Slaw Mix, Extra virgin olive oil (didn't have any canola) and added a generous sprinkle of celery seed to the slaw mix prior to the dressing because we like it. Thank you for sharing this soon to be staple for the summer! I'm going to try using Splenda next time like another reviewer tried and I hope it's as good! We really enjoyed this recipe.

    This is one delicious coleslaw, and one I will be making again and again! The longer you let it marinade the better it tastes!

    This is Excellent!! I had questions and asked Merlot about it. She uses 2 bags of slaw mix, and stirs it occasionally while marinating. Also, when you first combine the dressing with the slaw mix it Does Not look like there’s enough dressing, but there is Plenty. It also sounds like a lot of salt, but it was just fine. I made ½ the recipe, (there's just 2 of us tonight) and forgot to halve the garlic powder, but it was not too much garlic for us. Thank-you Merlot for sharing this wonderful recipe!

    Well, another winner Merlot! I made this tonight to go with our BBQ burgers, we just loved it..I was tired of all the creamy dressing coleslaw, and this just hit the spot...I however, only used 1 package of coleslaw, and cut the dressing recipe in half, and only used about 1/2 cup sugar, I also used green onions instead of regular onions.... and marinated it as stated on the counter for a couple of hours, I think that is the secret to this delicious coleslaw!...this is a keeper, I will definatley make this again, we sure enjoyed it...thanks for posting Merlot...great coleslaw recipe!...KC
