½ cup chopped walnuts
2 Tablespoons vegetable oil

In a 3-quart, rigid plastic lidded container, layer the pineapple bits, fruit pieces, and carrots. Top with a layer of cabbage and walnuts.

In a jar with a tight-fitting lid or similar container, combine the oil, honey, lemon juice, ginger, and reserved pineapple juice. Cover tightly and shake well.
Pour the dressing over the salad without stirring. Cover the slaw and refrigerate for several hours or overnight.

Just before serving, toss well. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

I'm making this for Mother's Day tomorrow and

have just assembled the ingredients to store in

the refrigerator as instructed above

Will let you know how it turns out.

To paraphrase the Terry Hatcher character in Seinfeld and about the above slaw recipe, "it's

real and it's spectacular." Great crunch and not too sweet. I'd highly recommend.

I have a slaw dressing that I have used for years. It is quite different and more savory than sweet. Great with Barbecue and Boiled Shrimp. I like to use fresh shredded green cabbage and shredded carrots for color. This recipe is for about 1/2-3/4 head of cabbage, depending on size.

1 cup mayo (I use Hellman's)
1/3 cup whole grain mustard (Zatarains)
1/4 cup poupon mustard
two pinches sugar
1 tbsp. (or more) dried dill
Lots of freshly ground pepper.

Mix well, add to slaw and refrigerate at least 1 hour, 2-3 is better.

OH, YES, Llulu!
MY Spicy Jalapeno Slaw:
About 12 years ago, I was making cornbeef (as usual) for St. Patrick's Day, and decided to make slaw instead of Brussels sprouts (which, by the way, are very tasty cooked in a reduction of the corned beef stock). I used some bags of a pre-shredded mix, so it had green and red cabbage and shredded carrots. Then a little bit o mayo, vinegar, 4,000 garlic cloves, 4,000 jalapenos, and a bunch (as in "bunch") of cilantro. Well.... maybe not 4,000, but a WHOLE LOT. As usual, I don't have a specific measurement guide, I just give it the ole' "hairy eyeball". (What underground comic is that from? Or is it from something else???) ie.: Like you, "Sorry I don't have exact amounts. I cook by sight and taste."

And... THEN... I started working at the Food Emporium here in DullAss, and one day I was feeling puny & not-in-the-mood-to-cook, so I bought some of the "Asian Cole Slaw", & it's been a staple on my shopping list ever since...

"FE" Asian Slaw Ingredients
Napa Cabbage
Carrots
Red Bell Pepper
Snow Peas
Daikon Radish
Green Onions
Jalapeno Peppers
Cilantro
Rice Wine Vinegar
Peanut Oil
Fish Sauce
Sugar
Water
Lime Juice
Sambal Olek

Those are the stated ingredients of this absolutely fabulous slaw; All finely julienned/sliced into a wonderful melange that well accompanies Mexican/Texican/Asian/Southern cuisines of all kinds. I love it HOT so I liberally accentuate it with Asian Chili-Garlic Paste (the NON sugared kind)

What no jalapeno slaw?

Shredded cabbage
Shredded carrot
Chopped jalapeno
Chopped cilantro
Thin shredded onion
Diced Avocado (Optional)

Dressing:
Cider vinegar
Lime juice
Canola oil
Pinch of cumin
Pinch of chili powder
1 Crushed clove of garlic
Salt and pepper

This is great with BBQ or fish tacos
Sorry I don't have exact amounts. I cook by sight and taste.

I'm surprised that nobody mentiioned this yet, but like was posted earlier, salt does draw out the moisture. That can be used to your advantage where you can pre-salt the slaw to draw out the liquid, rinse, then add your dressing for a creamy, but undiluted texture. That was a trick that was used in a slaw that I used to love made with a cream based dressing with celery seed. I don't know the recipe, but the slaw was "drawn" with salt b4 hand.

Regarding the KFC clones. Here's a hint. Make the dressing to the recipe BUT substitute the vinegar with tarragon vinegar and the black pepper with white pepper. As for the onion, replace with 1 TBSP dried, minced onion. Minced,not the flakes.

Yes, it's a hint....hint,hint

Not much to mine. Sweet and simple.

1 large head cabbage julienned, salted and in a strainer
2 large carrots, shredded and soaked 1 hour in ice water

Dressing:
1/2 cup mayo of choice (Helmans)
1/2 cup sour cream
1/8 cup cider vinegar
1/8 cup super fine white sugar
1 tsp. celery seed crushed
1/2 tsp. caraway seed (optional)
fresh ground pepper to taste

Rinse the cabbage and carrots thoroughly and spin or pat dry. Mix dressing and let set one or two hours before dressing the greens.

Cole Slaw with Pomegranate

Take half of the cabbage and slice it thinly, then grate the other half on the large holes of a box grater.

The dressing is
Mayo
Raspberry vinegar
sugar
all to taste

Add pomegranate seeds. For 2 cups of cabbage I'd add about 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup of pomegranate seeds.

The texture of the seeds complements the crunchy cabbage perfectly and the taste and color of the pomegranate really makes this cole slaw spectacular.

This is a great, fruity cole slaw in the summer if you can find pomegranates at that time of year ... or in the Christmas season, makes a perfect, colorful holiday slaw.

I'm not sure of the actually recipe, but a local restaurant serves up a no-mayo coleslaw which is absolutely yummy! It has an oil/vinegar mix with black pepper. :)

This is somewhat related - I recently had a fish taco - which I've never eaten before - and it was fantastic - a chunk of grilled fish nestled in a cruncy corn tortilla with what looked to be a slaw made with shredded purple cabbage. It wasn't overly spicy, but had just a little kick to it which I asked where it came from. The vendor mentioned he had made a remoulade sauce for the slaw. There's all kinds of recipes for remoulade and I'm guessing it was a white remoulade made with a mayonaise base, which would make a great cole slaw on it's own.

I always add a pinch of horseradish to my slaw liquid before mixing with the cabbage- and some paprika- the sweet,smoky kind. Otherwise it's pretty much like the KFC with a little less sugar and no lemon juice. And of course not so much, in the way of quantity, since there are only two of us!

Here's the KFC recipe from one of those secret knockoff recipe books. I make this when doing pulled pork. A lot of people like this slaw, some don't.

1/2 cup mayo
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup buttermilk
2 1/2 T lemon juice
1 1/2 T white vinegar
1/2 t salt
1/8 t black pepper

Mix first 8 ingredients and beat with whisk until smooth

Add:

8 cups cabbage
1/4 cup shredded carrots
2 T minced onion

Mix well. Cover and refridgerate for at least 2 hours.

Serves 10-12.

I keep the slaw pretty simple:

Chopped red cabbage
50/50 mayo and sour cream
Pickle relish
Finely sliced almonds
Lime juice
Salt and pepper

Mix it all up to your taste. It's good and crunchy.

Then add the remaining ingredients. Boil the mixture rapidly, then add 1 tablespoon celery seed. Jar and seal.

I don't like it sweet or with a lot of dressing.

I remember going to a cafeteria and getting a pineapple chunk in mine, it was like WT-? Hey, not bad.

I usually drain the pineapple really good, so that its not so sweet.
But the combo of the green bell pepper and pineapple from my recipe is just so good.

I'm looking for a recipe for creamed cabbage, served at Walp's restaurant in Allentown, PA. I haven't had it for years and I dearly love it. My folks were from Allentown (Allentown High, Class of '26) and I spent many a summer vacation at my grandmother's house at 4th and Walnut Streets). Can anybody help?

The Cole Slaw recipe is fantastic.I put a little salt on the shredded cabbage to draw out some moisture and let it sit in a colinder for about an hour. I also used some raw course light brown cane sugar instead of the white granulated. And finally I added a teaspoon of dried Jalapeno peppers for some heat. Great recipe was excellent on some grilled Koegles hot dogs without any sauce. Guests loved it as a side dish also. Thanks alot it is now in my recipe book. Best sweet slaw recipe I have seen! Russ

Not really able to get an answer of my slaw question from my original sign in to this site.
Stubbys Hickory Pit BBQ in Hot Springs, AR....back in the early 70's at the old location, they had mouth watering cole slaw that I would eat nearly every day. I went there again many years later and found the store to have pre-packaged run-of-the-mill slaw. I have been searching ever since for the recipe. Their slaw was tart, tangy, sweet, sour and absolutely mouth watering......Why can't I find someone with a recipe like that now????? I'm not asking much.....just for some way for me to enjoy that slaw. The current owners of Stubbys apparently dont have a clue what I am talking about so hope that someone here does. If you do please contact me directly (instead of the roadfood site at: whizzz@aol.com
I'm really not asking for much folks....just someone else in this world that might remember the old Stubbys slaw.
Thank you and happy new year.
