The Lady's Coleslaw (Paula Deen)

Sharlene~W's Note:

There are about as many coleslaw recipes as there are people. I myself like a variety coleslaws. I especially like the sweetness of this recipe from Paula Deen of the Food Network. The texture is also interesting as most of the ingredients are chopped in the food processor and half the cabbage is shredded. I think you can use a little more cabbage than the recipe calls for. I also like to mix in red cabbage for lots of color. (Cooking time listed is time standing in refrigerator).

Ya'll, this is wonderful coleslaw!!! Paula really knows what she is doing!!! I used this to top her BBQ Pork Sandwich and it is perfect for that!! I did use the food processor on all of my cabbage for a more finely grated coleslaw to go on my sandwiches. Also, I drained my green pepper and onion after processing because they had more liquid than cabbage does and I wanted my dressing to stay perfect! I love the combination of mayonnnaise with vinegar for the dressing. I grew up on vinegar-based slaws but I also love creamy ones too. This is a perfect combination of the two with great flavor!!! Love this slaw, will make again. Thanks so much for posting!!!
