I grew up in Fayetteville, TN but now live in Chattanooga and we can’t get good vinegar slaw over here, so I travel back home to eat at the OLD Greenbrier BBQ about 2 times per year (close to Madison, AL). The slaw, hushpuppies and white sauce are worth the trip.

Thanks for the recipes!

My Mom made her coleslaw different that any recipe I have ever seen. Chopped cabbage, chopped onion 2 or 3 Tablespoons of sugar, 2 or 3 Tablespoons of apple cider vinegar and mix it up with Sandwich Spread. Very good. It was always eaten with a full meal of whatever she cooked that day. Good with chicken and dumplings and green beans and cornbread. Also good on hotdogs. Someone please try it and let me know what you think. I grew up on this stuff. Also my sister makes a cabbage dip–chopped cabbage, onion, tomatoes, fresh cilantro, canned jalapeno peppers. Use as much ingredients as you like the pour the juice from the peppers over and stir well. Store in the refrigerator and stir well before serving with tortilla chips. Oh so good. The bowl will not set on the table long, it will be passed around so much.

Would you mind sharing your recipe with the Miracle Whip in it? It seems all I’ve ever eaten is slaw that was of a creamy nature. I’ve never made slaw. However I do want to make the vinegar to try it out.

I tried the vinegar slaw and pulled pork last night, and it was wonderful. I used more spices on the roast (ground mustard, black pepper, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, kosher salt) and I used molasses instead of the brown sugar and hot sauce instead of red pepper flakes because I was out of the other, and it was not vinegary at all. The slaw was so easy, I did add a little salt and pepper. The combination reminded me of the north Alabama BBQ I grew up on, and made me a little homesick. Great recipe! it is going in my file.

Roger my mother use to make the best cole slaw using a cooked dressing recipe – then without anyone knowing it she started using Marzetti’s cole slaw dressing and it was just as awesome as her cooked dressing. I discovered her secret while helping her clean up after a family dinner.

This is the exact recipe my mother used to make. And I don’t believe she was ever south of Indiana in her life! Who knew? I’m so happy to have the proportions for this, as it remains my favorite slaw recipe ever. Thanks, Christy.

Yes you can use Bag Cabbage. I always soak it in Ice Water then drain before making the slaw. I put in carrots, onions and green peppers along with herbs from my garden. Vinegar, sugar, salt and Olive Oil. I mix my dressing in the blender. I am going to try just vinegar and sugar next time. Somedays I only eat left over slaw for lunch – add an apple or nuts-something crunchy
