Re: (...)
Lets post our favorites--it's summertime and the 4th is upon us!!!
Creamy Buttermilk Coleslaw
1 lb red or green cabbage, shreadded fine
Salt
1 medium carrot, shredded on box grater
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 T mayo
2 T sour cream
1 small shallot, minced
2 T minced fresh parsley leaves
1/2 t cider vinegar
1/2 t sugar
1/4 t Dijon mustard
1/8 t ground black pepper
Toss cabbage and 1 t salt in colander and let stand until it wilts--1 to 4 hrs. Rinse under cold running water, press to drain--no squeezing! Pat dry. Place cabbage in a large bowl with carrots.
Stir remaining ingredients together and pour over cabbage and carrots-toss and refrigerate until chilled.
Makes 6 cups--from a turn of the century Cook's.
I'll post another one when I get a break.

Oh boy! I just love creamy coleslaw! Not too fond of the vinegary stuff, but it'll do in a pinch. Now Jerk Coleslaw is really tasty!

I must get my proportions right ( recipe at my work kitchen) and I will post the recipe for a wonderful dressing for coleslaw that is boiled first. White wine vinegar/sugar/oil/turmeric/mustard seeds etc.
Just fabulous and the slaw is best a few hours after dressing.
But...aint we all?? lolol

Billy, you either posted the jerk slaw recipe or told me where to go-anyways, I made this for a game party (football? baseball? I don't know), but it was very good.
My recipe is similar to Bill's lemon one, w/out the lemon, must try that. I always add celery seeds to my coleslaw, gives some zip w/out tons of vinegar.
