Don’t let the name of this coleslaw steer you from a traditional side dish! It’s a traditional coleslaw with a small twist! This recipe also came about because I had a bag of coleslaw mix that was going to go bad and when you’re feeding two teenage boys, you don’t waste food and throw it away! I needed to use that mix!
New Recipes
I’m always trying to perfect a homemade coleslaw recipe! I hate buying that sugar laden syrupy dressing at the grocery store! T loves coleslaw and so it’s something I can easily throw together and keep in the fridge for a side for us! We are frequently critiquing new coleslaws and if you remember, we LOVED the coleslaw at the Barrel House in Dubuque! So, I am constantly trying new combinations and T loved this one and said it was the best I had ever made, so of course, I needed to bring it to you!
The Recipe
- 1/2 cup mayo
- 1 1/2 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon dill seed
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1.5 bags coleslaw mix
- Mix together the first 6 ingredients and fold the coleslaw mix into it thoroughly.
- Let sit for at least one hour prior to serving.
Cooks Tips
- Personally, I like to mix all the sauce ingredients together and let them get happy for a couple hours before I combine them with the coleslaw mix! I really think it helps meld all the flavors together!
- If you’re not a honey person, you can certainly use sugar or any other sweetener!
- To avoid watery coleslaw, I tried THIS technique and it worked pretty well!
- Of course, coleslaw is perfect as a side-dish for any meal or bbq! Add it next to your favorite BBQ meat along with my Sweet & Spicy Baked Beans and you have a delicious meal!
- Don’t want to buy your coleslaw mix? Make your own with a salad shooter like the one from Amazon below!
