Easy Homemade Coleslaw
Don’t ever buy coleslaw dressing again. This tastes better than Marzetti’s coleslaw dressing to me. It is simple with common ingredients that you probably already have. The easy recipe is below.
In a large bowl combine the vinegar, mayo and sugar.
Make sure all the sugar is dissolved.
Pour the coleslaw mix into the bowl.
Toss well then cover and refrigerate at least 3-4 hours.
I make mine the day before I need it.
Mix well right before serving.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator.
I also made MICROWAVE CORN ON THE COB and CAPRESE TOMATOES for dinner.
It is rare when we don’t have meat with a meal, this was a nice change of taste.

The easiest things to make always seem to be the tastiest! There is so much to savor in the simple.
I agree totally Kim! Thank you for your nice comment!
what? wow, good to know!
It is so simple Beth. Use it for broccoli salad too, if you make that.
Thank you so much!
Can we use any cabbage instead of coleslaw cabbage?
Absolutely! I made this for my 4th of July picnic/birthday party, along with potato salad, cookies, deviled eggs, and macaroni salad. I used the bagged slaw mix because it was quick and easy.
Who knew it was so simple to make Cole slaw dressing?! Thanks for this hot tip, Diane!
You’re welcome Ab! I use this same one for my broccoli salad too.
Love coleslaw, even just tucked in a tortilla for lunch!
What!!!!! I would never had thought of that one Dorothy. I will have to try it the next time I make cole slaw. Thank you!
Well one day we were having fish tacos and I had a lot of leftover coleslaw, and extra taco wraps, so I used them up for lunch the next day!
It’s fun experimenting with food isn’t it?
You never know where it will end up!
This is so good and better than bottled dressings with ingredients you can’t even pronounce.
I grew up with Marzetti’s and I loved it. I don’t like it anymore and I am very happy with my homemade cole slaw dressing. I use this same dressing recipe with my broccoli salad too.
As much as I like coleslaw, and this does look delicious and you are amazing, I’m heading over to that tomato recipe….
Haha I’m with you! My husband LOVES coleslaw so I make it for him.
Are the comments here disappearing? Testing…
They are getting through but WP has completely changed the way I write my posts. I can’t make a big picture or larger lettering. I can’t make SEO for Google and I lost my AI completely. I’m about done blogging!
I could easily crunch into this homemade goodness!
I love the first summer vegetables, they just don’t hang around long enough.
Your dinner looks delicious and Summery!
Thank you Linda, I wish it was our home grown tomatoes but not yet.
No, not ’til August usually. We’d go to the farm stands in the country to get them and green beans and new potatoes.
YUM! I typically buy coleslaw in the store and add dry coleslaw from the bag to make it less creamy and fattening! I will try your recipe!
Thank you Vickie! I found if I want a dryer coleslaw, I mix the cabbage and dressing together just before serving. However, we usually eat it wet so I let the mixture sit overnight as it breaks down the cabbage and leaves it creamier, my husband’s favorite way to eat it. I would experiment with the amount you pour over the cabbage and let it sit a few hours, toss and see if you need more. Enjoy!
Thank you!!!!
Looks yummy!
Thank you Susanne!
That is similar to the dressing I make for my broccoli salad, Diane. yummy
Yes I use this too.
looks like a coleslaw I could make…
Yes! It is so easy.
Yummy coleslaw – one of our favourite salads (in the summer)! And you’re right, it tastes better after it has stood for a little while. We usually add a handful of raisins or dried cranberries too – delish!
That is a great idea Corna!
I love coleslaw but rarely make it at home. I should start😁
Yes it is so simple and good!
