Kentucky Slaw

Submitted by Lucky in Bayview

"This is the best slaw recipe. It was printed in a local newspaper years ago. The recipe keeps well tightly covered up to 5 days. I like to make it the day before I plan to serve it."

 

• Ready In: 45mins
• Ingredients: 11
• Serves: 8-10

ingredients

• 6 cups of thinly sliced cabbage
• 1⁄4 cup sugar
• 1 cup shredded carrot
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄4 teaspoon pepper
• 1⁄2 cup milk
• 1 cup mayonnaise (I use reduced fat)
• 1⁄2 cup buttermilk
• 1⁄2 teaspoon celery seed
• 2 -3 drops hot pepper sauce
• 3 tablespoons instant minced onion

directions

1. Combine cabbage, sugar, carrots, salt, pepper and milk. Cover and refrigerate about 15-20 minutes.
2. In a separate bowl, combine mayonnaise, buttermilk, celery seed, hot pepper sauce and dry onions.
3. Combine cabbage mixture and dressing mixture.
4. Refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving.
5. Drain some of the dressing and serve it separately for those who want a jucier slaw. The sugar and milk will draw out much of the natural juice in the cabbage while it chills.

A really tasty slaw that is very easy to make. Rather than sliced cabbage and shredded carrot, I used a bag of coleslaw mix (call me lazy). I then followed the recipe exactly as posted. I noticed that after the cabbage mixture sat for 15-20 minutes, it was a bit watery. I still added the dressing mixture and later drained some liquid when the slaw was fully combined. I was worried that there was too much sugar but the hot sauce offset that. Many compliments all around, and definitely worth making again. Thanks for sharing. Made for Spring PAC 2012.

Delicious! Everyone thoroughly enjoyed this slaw. We particularly loved the zip that the hot sauce gave it. Very nice, and distinctive. Thanks for sharing it, Lucky in Bayview.

I cut the recipe in half and I did add a little more fresh onion (besides the instant minced onion) because we love onion. Still it wasn't over done. DH loved it and cleaned the bowl! Thank you for submitting the recipe. Served with recipe#399796#399796 and recipe#286965#286965. Made for SPRING PAC 2010.

For the buttermilk, I used soy milk and lemon. I liked the addition of the hot sauce. Thanks for posting. Made for PAC, spring 2013.

Since there were just 2 of us this time around, I made sure to cut this recipe in half & then used just 1 drop of the hot pepper sauce! Still, I'm a big fan of slaw, & this one is definitely one of the best tasting ones I've had! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Made & reviewed in New Kids on the Block tag]
