German Coleslaw

[Punkin]

I'm looking for a recipe for german coleslaw similiar to a local resturant. It has very little if any sugar in it and no mayo. Anyone have something like this?

That recipe sounds good, but I don't think the one I'm searching for has even that much sugar in it because it is very sour tasting.

Re: German Coleslaw

My moms version of German Coleslaw just had grated cabbage, grated onion, vinegar, salt and pepper. No sugar at all.

Re: German Coleslaw

I found this one but I think most German Coleslaw recipes have basically the same ingredients. I would just adjust the amount of sugar to your own taste.

German Coleslaw

FOR THE DRESSING:
1⁄3 cup distilled white vinegar
1 tsp. dry mustard
1⁄2 tsp. celery seeds
Salt
1⁄3 cup sugar
1⁄2 cup vegetable oil

FOR THE COLESLAW:
1⁄2 medium head of green cabbage, cored and finely
sliced (about 7 cups)
1⁄ small head of red cabbage, cored and finely sliced
(about 1 1⁄2 cups)
1 small carrot, trimmed, peeled, and coarsely grated

1. For the dressing: Put the vinegar, mustard, and celery seeds into a medium bowl and whisk to combine. Season with salt to taste. Add the sugar and whisk vigorously until dissolved. Pour the vegetable oil in a thin stream into the bowl while whisking constantly, until it is well combined with the other ingredients and a smooth dressing is formed. Season with salt to taste and set aside.

2. For the coleslaw: Put the green and red cabbages and carrots into a large bowl. Add the dressing and toss well to combine. Store the coleslaw in the refrigerator until ready to use, up to 1 day. Serve chilled.

Re: German Coleslaw

Haven't tried this, but definitely will because there's no sugar in it. I would put this in the fridge at least a couple hours before serving:



GERMAN COLE SLAW

1/3 c. water
1/3 c. salad oil
1/3 c. vinegar
Salt to taste
Celery seed to taste

Mix and pour over 1 head grated cabbage

Re: German Coleslaw

This is probably close (without the sugar version), so I'll give it try. Thanx!
