A while back I shared two ways I make my cole slaw. I forgot to share another one I make from time to time. This one is a vinegar based recipe that’s good for people who can’t use or don’t like mayonnaise. It also holds up better for outdoor BBQs.

Oil and Vinegar Cole Slaw
14-16 oz. Bag Coleslaw mix
1/4 cup White or Apple Cider Vinegar
2Tbsp. Sugar (or adjust amount for other sweetner of choice)
2 Tbsp. Oil
1 tsp. Celery Seeds
1/4 tsp. Sea salt (or salt of choice)
1/8 tsp. White or black pepper
Directions:
In a large bowl add vinegar, sugar (or substitute), oil, celery seeds, salt and pepper. Mix well until combined. Pour Coleslaw mix in and toss until all of the slaw is moisturized. Transfer to an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to use.

Why is there mayo and milk in the directions?

Good catch! I forgot to edit that part out. My age is catching up with me. LOL I’ll be 49 in two days. It’s all fixed now 🙂

Hey Regina! Thanks for the birthday greeting.
I hope you give this coleslaw a try. It’s pretty tasty and much lighter than the mayo version in my opinion 😉
