An Easy, Simple, Creamy Homemade Coleslaw Recipe To Please Every Palate

The Classic Side Salad, Homemade Coleslaw is one of the most versatile and popular side dishes in the world!

We’re going to show you an easy, simple, creamy homemade coleslaw recipe to please every palate. This easy coleslaw recipe has all the basic coleslaw ingredients, but you can make other additions of your own tastes and choosing. It pairs great with Red Bliss Potato Salad! (And all the good stuff cooking on the outdoor grill!)

WHAT IS COLESLAW?

Coleslaw is a side salad consisting mostly of finely-shredded raw cabbage and usually dressed with a vinaigrette salad dressing. When it is made this way, coleslaw can be pickled for up to four weeks, if you store it in an airtight container. Another way to prepare coleslaw is to use foods that already contain vinaigrette, like mayonnaise.

HOMEMADE COLESLAW

Homemade Coleslaw is most often eaten as a side dish with yummy foods such as fried chicken and BBQ’d meats and may be paired by French fries or potato salad as an additional side dish. It also may be used as an ingredient in sandwiches , being set on barbecue sandwiches, hot dogs, hamburgers, with chili and hot mustard.

It’s so easy to put to together an simple coleslaw recipe! You can easily feed a family of four, or serve a party of 400! The basic coleslaw ingredients are basically cabbage, carrots and your favorite creamy coleslaw dressing (or vinaigrette!)

ORIGIN OF “COLESLAW”

The word coleslaw came from the Dutch term ‘koolsla’, which itself is the shortened term for koolsalade, meaning cabbage salad. In the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, many Dutch settlers came into New York (originally New Amsterdam) and with them, brought their recipe for chilled cabbage salad.

TODAY’S HOMEMADE COLESLAW

Today’s homemade coleslaw is a mixture of shredded cabbage with mayonnaise, salad dressing, sour cream or buttermilk. Other seasonings, such as vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper are added. (Regional recipes vary greatly.)

A recipe for traditional coleslaw appeared in American Literature as early as 1785!

Coleslaw.

“It’s always a tough decision between that, the Mac and Cheese, and the mashed potatoes, isn’t it?”
~ Colonel Sanders

Easy, Simple Creamy Homemade Coleslaw Recipe

Coleslaw Ingredients:
1 head green cabbage, finely shredded
2 carrots, finely shredded
1/2 cup sour cream
3/4 cup Duke’s Mayonnaise
2 Tbsp. sugar
1/4 Tsp. salt or to taste (do not add if you’re using celery salt)
1/8 Tsp. pepper or to taste
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
1 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar

Add this for a little less simple and a little more zest:

2 scallions
1 tablespoon dry mustard
2 teaspoons celery salt/or 1/2 tsp celery seed

How To Make Coleslaw:

Shred the cabbage and carrots into a bowl using your favorite Chef’s knife and trusty cutting board, or use a food processor.

Whisk the mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, vinegar, and sugar in a separate bowl, allowing sugar to dissolve. (Add dry mustard and celery salt, or any other ingredients, if you like.)

Blend well with a spatula.

Fold the coleslaw mix into dressing. Cover bowl and place in the refrigerator for 1 hour before serving.

CONGEALED SALADS (JELLIED SALADS)

Congealed Salads (Jellied salads) became popular from the late 20’s through the 50’s. The trend for pairing lemon or lime-flavored Jello with vegetables like shredded cabbage and carrots sounds a little odd, but it was very popular. At one time, the Jello company also made vegetable-flavored jello.

Practically speaking, using Jello was certainly easier than making aspic from scratch.

Even today, one can still find congealed salad (most likely lime-flavored jello with pineapple and carrots) served on the best china platter at family reunions throughout the southern states. 😉

Real Good Cooking Tip:

DRUNKSLAW

Did you know that Coleslaw can be made with bourbon instead of vinegar?

This is called Drunkslaw, and the recipe is simple: ¼ of a cup of Sour Cream, 1 cup of Mayonnaise, a cup of bourbon, and a pound of sliced cabbage, carrots!

Simple Homemade Red Bliss Potato Salad Recipe

No Summer cookout, BBQ or gathering is ever complete without homemade potato salad, especially if it’s a deliciously simple homemade Red Bliss Potato Salad recipe like this one.

This recipe for Red Bliss potato salad is one of our very favorites! Not only is it easy to make this red potato salad, it tastes so good with whatever you’ve got cookin’ on the grill!

It really is pretty simple to make and goes great with this awesome Apple Hand Pie Recipe!

Homemade Red Bliss Potato Salad as a Side Dish

Potato salad is a popular side dish consisting of boiled potatoes prepared in many different versions from regions all over the world. Both White and/or Red potatoes are used in making a potato salad.

Even though we call it a salad, potato salad is considered a side dish, because it is usually served alongside the main course.

You’ll find that Potato salad will be served with not only hamburgers and hot dogs, but also with BBQ, fried chicken and cold sandwiches.

Homemade Red Bliss Potato Salad is popular, not only because it tastes so good (and it’s so good for you!), it

● uses inexpensive ingredients
● it is easily prepared in advance
● and can quickly be made in large quantities

Simple Homemade Red Bliss Potato Salad Recipe

Ingredients For Red Bliss Potato Salad:

Typical basic ingredients for homemade Red Potato salad include:

● 3 pounds cubed, boiled red potatoes
● 1 teaspoon white or apple cider vinegar
● 1/2 cup mayonnaise (We hear Duke’s mayonnaise is awesome!)
● 1 cup yogurt or sour cream
● 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard or 1 tsp mustard powder (dry mustard)
● black pepper
● salt

Directions:

Place the red bliss potatoes in a large stainless steel pot with enough water to cover. Bring them to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes, until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork. Drain, then transfer to a large bowl to cool. Sprinkle the vinegar over the red potatoes while they are still warm.

In a medium bowl, mix the sour cream, mayonnaise, mustard, salt and pepper.

Add any of the following ingredients to suit your tastes and then, season as you wish:

● eggs, celery, pickles, green onions, hot sauce

● dill, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder

Pour the mayonnaise mixture over the potatoes, and gently toss to coat. Chill for 3 hours in the refrigerator before serving.

** We served a classic red potato salad combo of parsley and scallions with salt and pepper for our table over the holidays!

The most popular variations of potato salad recipes include:

potato salad prepared with: vinegar dressing
potato salad prepared with: mayonnaise, yogurt or sour cream dressing
potato salad prepared with: fresh herbs (dill, parsley, chives, tarragon)
potato salad prepared with: capers
potato salad prepared with: gherkins
potato salad prepared with: raw onion and pickles
potato salad prepared with: hard-boiled eggs
potato salad prepared with: hard-boiled eggs and cooked chicken

Real Good Cooking Tip:

Leave a bit of the skin on the red bliss potatoes—especially when making German-style potato salad.

MAYONNAISE OR VINEGAR DRESSING FOR RED POTATO SALAD?

“Mayonnaise. It’s got to be homemade or Duke’s.”

Apparently, for thousands of people around the South, there is no other mayonnaise but the legendary Duke’s Mayonnaise.

“I love Duke’s Mayonnaise,” says Virginia Willis, food writer & cookbook author. Duke’s is a little more acidic, a little more zesty than other brands. “And that little bit of acid really makes flavors pop.”

“For me, it’s got to be homemade or Duke’s,” she says.

Homemade Dark Chocolate Mint Ice Cream in 20 Minutes with the Cuisinart Ice-21 Electric Ice Cream Maker!

Did you know…

You can make homemade dark chocolate mint ice cream in 20 minutes with the Cuisinart Ice-21 electric ice cream maker?

Homemade Ice Cream

In the hot summer weather (especially in July, National Ice Cream Month!), I like to experiment with different flavors for making homemade ice cream with one of my favorite small kitchen appliances, the Cuisinart Ice-21 electric ice cream maker.

Yes.

20 minute homemade ice cream.

Homemade Dark Chocolate Mint Ice Cream!

You can do it, too.

(However, I like to take my time to prepare my homemade ice cream. See below)

And, I love to use my Cuisinart Ice-21 ice cream maker.

Herbs and Mint and Ice Cream, Oh My!

I grow many herbs in my garden, peppermint (below) and spearmint are among them.

I like to use fresh herbs to freshen all of my cuisine creations, and they seem to pair exceptionally with ice cream.

Who knew exotic flavors of ice cream would be all the rage in the big cities…?

One of my favorite ice cream flavors is not particularly exotic, Homemade Dark Chocolate Mint Ice Cream!

Here’s a neat recipe for you to try:

Homemade Dark Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Recipe

1 can of coconut milk
1/4 cup raw honey
2 egg yolks
2 ounces 72% dark chocolate
4 – 5 drops of peppermint essential oil, or a teaspoon pure peppermint extract
2-3 drops of green food coloring (optional)

Place coconut milk and honey in a medium saucepan over low heat. Whisk until blended. Add peppermint extract and optional food coloring. Stir.

Whisk two egg yolks in a separate bowl. Temper the yolks by adding a small ladle of hot mixture, stirring continuously so as to not “cook” the eggs. Add a second ladle to egg mixture. Once combined, pour this back into the saucepan and stir everything together. Refrigerate until completely cooled.

Follow the directions on your electric ice-cream mixture as each one may be a little different. I put the freezing cavity in the freezer overnight and the ice-cream mixture in the refrigerator overnight and then blend in the morning for about 30 minutes.

Note:

Add the chocolate about halfway through the blending process. You can use chocolate chips for this recipe. We recommend these dark chocolate chips, allergen free, vegan, organic and non-GMO.
