Old Fashioned Coleslaw

A friend called the other day and asked if I had an old fashioned Coleslaw recipe and I did have one, but I had not shared it on the blog. I promised her that I would post it very soon. Coleslaw is a year round salad that is a great side for so many dishes and here in Texas is almost a staple. We wouldn't think of having barbecue without coleslaw. This is the recipe that I have always used and have never changed it. When in season we use the cabbage from our garden so this is a great Garden to Table recipe!

  1. fresh from the garden cabbage must be incredible compared to the cardboard shreds in a bag at the grocery!

  3. Your cabbage is beautiful! I love a good coleslaw, but I've never had it with apples either. I definitely need to give that a try!

  4. Miz Helen, that looks and sounds like my idea of coleslaw perfection! And with garden-fresh cabbage, mmm. I always slice my cabbage coarsely for coleslaw. AND I always end up eating it for breakfast, lunch and dinner!

  7. Growing up in Texas my self, I agree about "slaw", as my mother called it, almost being a staple. I can imagine how good yours is with cabbage straight from the garden.

  8. How lovely to be able to make your coleslaw from homegrown cabbage, Miz Helen! Your recipe looks delicious. I think coleslaw is the perfect summer salad. Thank you for sharing this recipe with us at the Hearth and Soul Hop.

  10. I like the idea of adding apple. This is pretty similar to my usual recipe although I recently tried something different. When we went to Belize this past November we were served coleslaw pretty often with meals. It was especially good. I decided to look for a Belizean recipe and the one I found and tried was excellent. It used olive oil and vinegar but no mayonnaise. I added a splash of cream along with the other ingredients and we all agreed it was really good. I'll blog the recipe one of these days.
