Coleslaw With Honey

Submitted by puppitypup

"Easy coleslaw with a hint of honey. Even better if you make it a day ahead!"

 

• Ready In: 2hrs 10mins
• Ingredients: 11
• Serves: 8-10

ingredients

• 8 cups cabbage, finely chopped (about 1 head)
• 1⁄4 cup carrot, shredded (1 medium carrot)
• 2 tablespoons minced sweet onions
• 1⁄2 cup mayonnaise
• 1⁄3 cup honey
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 2 tablespoons buttermilk
• 1 1⁄2 tablespoons white vinegar
• 2 1⁄2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1⁄2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1⁄8 teaspoon fresh ground pepper

directions

1. Chop cabbage, carrot and onion into very small pieces, set aside.
2. In large bowl, combine remaining ingredients and beat until smooth.
3. Add slaw and mix well.
4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. (Don't skip this step, the flavor needs time to set into the slaw).
5. BTW, I like to make the dressing up and keep it in a squirt bottle in the fridge. When I use it, I have to microwave it a little to thin the honey, but it works since I always refrigerate the slaw before eating anyway.
6. Also, when we're dieting, I use less than half the dressing and it's still quite good!

This was a delicious dressing (I used cole slaw mix in a bag for the salad). The honey adds an intriguing accent. I like my salads lightly dressed, so I have some left over and am going to try it with other mixed greens.

Loved it! I cut the recipe in half and used the bagged slaw mix. I substituted ff half and half and white vinegar for the buttermilk, but other than that, made as written. Oh yeah, I used ff half and half instead of the milk too. I loved the slight honey flavor. It was great! Thanks for another great recipe Puppitypup. Linda Made for Zaar Stars Tag Game

Excellent! I made half of it and used even less dressing, cause I'm trying to watch my weight. We all loved it, yesterday and I imagine that it would be better with the whole amount of dressing. I did add some radishes and I loved it! Thanks for posting!

This was very tasty!! Used a bag of shredded cabbage and carrots and made as is. This was great - can't compare it to KFC's (I haven't gone in years and years!!), but it was enjoyed by all!

I love making differnt kinds of cole slaw and this one appealed to me because the honey sounded irresistable with the buttermilk! This was an excellent cole slaw. Next time I am going to try and get away with 1/4 cup honey. Thanks Puppitypup for another great recipe. Roxygirl
