Slaw recipes

This takes a little longer to make, but worth the time.
1 pkg unflavored gelatin
¼ cup water
Soften the gelatin in the water
¾ cup sugar
1 cup cider vinegar
¼ cup water
1 tsp salt (can be reduced or omitted)
1 tsp celery salt
½ tsp paprika
½ tsp pepper
Mix together in a saucepan and bring to a boil, remove from heat. Add the softened gelatin and stir until dissolved. Chill until partially set. Pour into a blender container add 1 cup of salad oil and blend on high until white and creamy. This makes enough dressing for about 10 cups of shredded cabbage. I also add onion, carrots and red and green pepper.

This one is good. To a package of slaw add:
1/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon ground mustard
1 teaspoon celery salt
3 tablespoons white vinegar

I remember having cole slaw at a potluck once that seemed to have orange juice in it. Never found out who made it but I love that fruity taste. It might've had some tiny mandarin orange slices in it, now that I think about it.

I use this recipe except I use Kraft Miracle Whip Light; Splenda for the sweetner and add a little skim milk if I need to thin it a bit. If you do not like the taste just adjust one of the three ingredients to suit your taste.

Here's the recipe I use all the time...

1 cup Mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Sugar
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1/2 teaspoon Pepper
1/2 teaspoon Celery seed
2 teaspoons Lemon juice, one lemon

1/2 head cabbage shredded
1 carrot shredded
1/4 onion chopped

These sound great--I love a bit of sweet taste to the dressing. Now I am remembering how much I love carrot raisin salad (Morrison's Cafeteria used to make the best). I found this old recipe I used to make and the dressing is almost identical to most of the ones here.

Carrot Raisin Salad
3 carrots, shredded-1C raisins
1/2 C mayo- 1 T vinegar- 1 T sugar

3 parts Hellmanns
2 parts sugar
1 part cider vinegar
Pepper and celery seed to taste, a shake or two of onion powder, and a shake of paprika

For my favorite slaw I use shredded cabbage and carrots, craisins, diced apples, a tiny bit of seeded, deveined, and minced jalapeño, a handful of chopped walnuts and add a shake of cinnamon to the dressing. I can't get enough of this.

I use: shredded cabbage, shredded carrots, onion, sweet pickle relish. I make a quick slaw dressing by whisking: mayo, 2 tbsp vinegar, 2 tbps sugar and enough half and half to thin a bit. More southern slaw, not fancy.

This Bobby Flay recipe is our favorite, we've been making it for several years. It has a little bit of a kick to it due to the dry mustard. Also, I like to add the sauce right before serving as I like the cabbage crisp and not soft and wilted. Great on Slaw Dogs:
