Tangy Southern Coleslaw: Fast, Easy, and Oh So Delicious!

January 20, 2020 By Joi Sigers

Tangy Southern Coleslaw

Tangy Southern Coleslaw

One of my biggest culinary obsessions is coleslaw – it goes with so many things.. and those few things it doesn’t conceivably go with?

I make it go!

The only drawback to loving a particular food so much is it makes you hyper picky when you order it in restaurants (or, worse yet, when a family member makes some and it tastes like a movie prop!). Let’s be honest, really truly wonderful coleslaw is a work of art and not many people pass for artists.

This particular easy, but delicious southern coleslaw is spot on – a work of art that’ll make you a Picasso.

My personal favorite coleslaw is usually vinegar-based, but I wanted to add some creamy tanginess to the mix (literally), so  I opted to sort of combine a creamy coleslaw and a vinegar coleslaw. That’s where the buttermilk comes into play. It may sound unusual, but it really does make things interesting.

And delicious!

Tangy Southern Coleslaw

Ingredients

  • 1 (14 oz) Bags of Coleslaw Mix (with cabbage and carrots)
  • 1/3 Cup White Sugar + 2 TBS More!
  • 1/4 Cup Buttermilk
  • 1/2 Cup Duke's Mayonnaise (sub with Hellman's if necessary)
  • 1/4 Cup Whole Milk
  • 1-1/2 TBS Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 1 tsp Yellow Mustard
  • 1-1/2 TBS Lemon Juice
  • 1/2 tsp Onion Powder
  • 3/4 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Black Pepper

Instructions

  1. Pour the coleslaw mixes into a large bowl - preferably the one you'll be serving the coleslaw in.
  2. In a large glass measuring cup (or small bowl), combine the rest of the ingredients and stir well to combine.
  3. Refrigerate for at least an hour.
  4. Before serving, give the coleslaw a good stir and taste. If you need to add more salt and/or pepper, do so.

Notes:

  • I specify Duke’s Mayonnaise simply because it’s the one I always buy and use in my recipes. I simply think it’s the best. However, using Hellman’s will not alter the recipe. In fact, it’s pretty much the same… don’t tell my beloved Duke’s that though.
  • This is outrageously delicious on or beside a chili dog or pork sandwich.
  • One of the things that makes “Southern Coleslaw” in fact “Southern Coleslaw” is the sweetness. Our capacity to eat sweet food is unequaled. If you want to add a little less sugar, feel free to cut back a tad. However, a certain amount is very, very necessary to balance the acidity of the vinegar.

Kentucky Coleslaw: Like Your Big-Hearted Southern Aunt Tess Would Make

February 24, 2016 By Joi Sigers

Best Coleslaw Recipe: Kentucky Coleslaw

Kentucky Coleslaw

I love coleslaw on the level some people love cheesecake.

Not that I wouldn’t, at any given time, wrestle crocodile in a bad mood for cheesecake.

Over the years, I’ve played and tinkered with coleslaw recipes – adding this, adding that, leaving this out, leaving that out… you know, tinkered.  In the end, the one that remains my favorite is the simplest.

I, for personal reasons I can’t even begin to explain, prefer my coleslaw coarsely chopped as opposed to shredded.  I know. Weird, right?  But, there you have it. Maybe it’s because I like it crunchy and snappy.  I grate my carrots, but finely chop the cabbage and green bell pepper.

My husband teases me about the amount of time it takes for me to make a batch of coleslaw, but I’m never more relaxed and at peace with life than when I’m cooking, so it’s all good.

After you’ve poured the cooled mixture over your vegetables, whatever you do, don’t pour out what you think to be “excess” liquid – that’s where the flavor lives!
