My mother used this recipe for years, easy peasy! I also like using the Marzetti Coleslaw dressing. I add small onion and carrots to my slaw mix.

Great recipe - I added some horseradish to give it a bit more zing!

This is good for emergencies and I had to use it. But to really be prepared ahead of time.. I just use Marzetti Slaw dressing from a JAR.. and mix with shredded cabbage and carrots. Let flavors blend a bit in ref.. and everyone thinks you made homemade dressing. Have done this for years and inlaws all praise my cole slaw.. Sometimes a bottled dressing can be easier and better than one you have to make.

Pineapple is another optional add-in. Preferably fresh, but canned will work (be sure to drain first).

I love the Marzetti Coleslaw Dressing, too. I was on here looking for something close to my mom's dressing which uses half and half and Miracle Whip. This was pretty close.

I always start with a recipe and add to it. This recipe was awesome! I added minced onion, Penzey's celery seed and a few drops of hot pepper sauce for flavor, not heat.

Good Stuff!!

I made this as a side for a quick dinner. I added some salad topper mix from Costco. It has dried cranberries, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds,etc. it was awesome! Thanks for the recipe. I think next time I will add an apple as suggested above!

So easy & good. One less bottle to keep in the fridge!

Though my personal preference is Hellman's Mayo, I did try this with Miracle Whip as written. The addition of sugar and vinegar was wonderful! Very tasty I must say. I also added some diced red onion and some crumbled crisp fried bacon. The Cole Slaw Blend I purchased didn't have carrots so I added some fresh shredded carrots to the salad too. Next time I think I'll add some diced tart apple too as another reviewer suggested. This would make a delightful entree salad with maybe some chilled shrimp or diced cooked chicken! Thanks Sherry!

I'm single. On st paddy's day, I only use half a cabbage.
What to do with the other half, plus carrots I didn't use.
I improvised greatly with this recipe, though I did use the miracle whip.
I just went by taste and moistness without measuring.
I didn't check "cooks" to find recipes.
I didn't use sugar or any sweetener.
I never have spices on hand.
This is probably one of simplest and tastiest coleslaw recipes.
If I can make it, anyone can.

This calls for the bag of cole slaw blend.... Can't get much easier.
And I don't have to wait a whole 'nother year to make.
Thanks Sherry. Mmm wonder if you can use that (sherry) instead of vinegar.

Very good and super easy to make great side dish! Will definitely do it again!

Loved it!! I added a diced apple for an extra crunch :)

I had a whole coleslaw, hubby doesn't liked it cooked. This is perfect thank you!!

Loved it! So easy and taste great, a definite repeater!

(4 stars because nobody is perfect). Excellent recipe and my diabetic-2 hubby can eat this with immunity - using Splenda instead of regular sugar. I estimate 60 calories per serving, 2 grams sugar. Great for his late-night snack.
