Dink's Cole slaw

3/4-1 C miracle whip
1/2 C sugar

with food processor shred cabbage, whisk together dressing ingredients, mix cabbage and dressing together then shred carrot and add to mixture, taste and adjust seasoning, let set 3-4 hours in fridge before serving. very simple but very good.

cabbage =

[smokendink71]

This is done with the shredding disc on a food processor not the blade, just to clear that up. DC you crack me up bro, I'm German on my mom's side and Irish On my dad's, so I grew up on cabbage and potatoes.

That explains alot.....

That's real similar to the way we make it Dink.

[smokendink71]

That's the way I was brought up making it, my Great-Grandmother Stienbrook made it originally with home made mayo but since her time someone down the line started using miracle whip, but other than that nothing has changed.

That was what I was thinking - Mayo is the staple in my house because I think the Miracle whip is too sweet.
So you think the mayo might work well too?

[smokendink71]

yeah I use mayo from time to time for a little different taste and it works fine, last night I used mayo and a little of my carolina sauce just for something out of the norm and it sure does taste good

[smokendink71]

Tried something a little different with my cole slaw today, I used about 3/4 c mayo and 1/4 c carolina sauce that I posted in sauce along with 1 tsp MSG, it tastes really good, kind of like something else I've had but I can't put my finger on it. Over all I will be doing this trial again.

OK, so here is my take on slaw - Jalapeno-Garlic Cole slaw


1 lb bag of angel hair slaw mix
1/3 cup salad vinegar (cider vinegar works just fine)
1/2 cup Miracle Whip (if you go with regular mayo, you will probably need to bump up the sugar)
2 tsp minced garlic
2 med/lg jalapenos minced very well (I used 20 slices of tamed japs minced almost to a paste)
1 tbs sugar
1 1/2 tsp celery salt
about 1/2 tsp each salt and pepper

I mix up everything but the cabbage in the serving bowl and then fold in the cabbage
toss in the frig for 30 minutes and fold again just before serving



I hope you give this a try
A lot of my friends will put this on their BBQ sandwich and top with Sauce (Irv's Smokehouse of course)

here's what mine came out looking like, I always shred my own unless it's in the restaurant.
