Pouring over the hundreds of recipes, I settled on a simple recipe for coleslaw. I've been trying for years to find a recipe similar to my grandmother's and this one was pretty close....not 100% but close. Both my daughter and I really enjoyed it, my husband likes his more on the vinegary side, but since he's not cooking, I'm making it the way I like it. :)
I served the coleslaw with french dip sandwiches and it was perfect. This recipe can easily be doubled (or tripled) for larger amounts and it would be great to bring to your first summer cookout! Yes I'm thinking about summer as we just dealt with a major snowstorm over the weekend...luckily for me, I'm in warm Tempe, AZ right now for a conference.
1/2 cup lowfat mayo
2 Tbsp milk1 Tbsp white vinegar
1/2 tsp sugar
14 oz bag of coleslaw mix
Mix the dressing ingredients together in a small bowl. Pour the coleslaw mix into a large bowl and coat with the dressing. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour for dressing to start to break down the cabbage and the flavors to blend. I like it best after it's been sitting for 24 hours.

Like you have been on a quest for the perfect coleslaw...which to me is one that is like my mom's....this one looks great. Great SRC choice.
Mmmmm, I love coleslaw as a standalone side, but it's even better topping a messy sandwich, wrap or slider.
Oh that looks so good. There is nothing like a good creamy coleslaw!
Hope you're enjoying your conference :)
That looks like a delicious, creamy cole slaw, and I bet it went delicious with the french dip sandwiches. YUM!
Fun to think coleslaw which makes me think summer. Looks delicious.
YUMMY! I Love coleslaw!!! Great choice. Makes me want summer to come! I'm a fellow SRC member, group D
My coleslaw recipe is very similar to yours I love the tangy vinegar/sugar flavors-perfect for any savory meat sandwich. I remember the cranberry chutney I made from your blog-it was amazing!
I love coleslaw and this recipe sounds like one I would love to use to top my bbq pork sammys! Thanks for sharing
Looks good! It's never too early to think about summer :)

I deleted my last comment because somehow I think it came as a reply to someone elses comment? I'm not sure if it'll do it again. It looks like it. But what I said was that I love coleslaw! This is so easy!
