COLESLAW RECIPE - 2 WAYS | classic coleslaw + vinegar coleslaw (no mayo coleslaw)

Learn how to make coleslaw two ways! An easy, creamy coleslaw recipe + a vinegar based coleslaw (no mayo coleslaw). Homemade coleslaw is the perfect side dish for summer parties, potlucks and barbecues. My recipe is light, flavorful and has far less sugar than you’ll find in store-bought versions or from KFC.
Coleslaw is a great recipe to make ahead for meal prep and it will last for 3-5 days in the fridge. Cabbage is extremely healthy, so enjoy what I consider to be the best coleslaw recipe!

[@darleneh7740]

When I was little, my grandfather would use pineapple juice to sweeten the dressing for the coleslaw. I love it! Thank you for sharing this recipe! ❣️

[@SweetChicagoGator]

Great idea for pineapple juice ! 😀

[@tanyawalker3479]

That sounds good

[@talentlover2]

You are really making my life happier & better with your practical & delicious & healthy salad dressing recipes plus instructions on how to cut up the cabbage! Thank You so much!!!!!

[@MillaCho44]

I always love the rich taste of coleslaw with mayo but I’ll definitely try the vinegar version. both look so fresh and yummy!

[@BusyPush7278]

Thank you for these recipes! I was looking for ways to make coleslaw. I usually pass up coleslaw with mayo but this one looks delicious and is a great alternative . I’m glad you shared two versions of how to make it. 😋

[@louisfreris7430]

Thank you! I may add that slicing the cabbage using a vegetable peeler, makes it nice and thin, easy to chew and absorb the flavours.

[@alexdeprat]

We just tried both (with and without mayo), and they were both delicious. Thank you for such a beautiful presentation.

[@Downshiftology]

I'm happy you loved both recipes Alex!

[@gail7998]

Thx for posting! So nuce to know the oul dressing is tasty. Fingers crossed! I hope my husband agrees!

[@TheCelestialhealer]

What can I say, I have said it many times, your style, presentation and recipes are sooo perfect and everything is beautiful.

[@susansanderson7307]

Perfect non mayo recipie ....this has gone into my permanent stash of great recipies. Thank you!!

[@chandaharkins4418]

I don't know if that whole thing about taste buds changing over time is true, but I suddenly love mayo coleslaw. I can't get enough of it lately! Thanks for the recipes. They both look great.

[@hessa3072]

I tried the second one and It's so delicious 😋 Thank you ❤️

[@carlosd.martinez1457]

Loved it! Was looking for an option with honey and you were the one who had it! It turned out great! 🤗

[@chuck1804]

Both great recipes. I have found for even lighter option you can remove the oil altogether. The sweetness from the ACV still comes thru, and you can always add a little hot sauce for flavour. 😋

[@skatingcanuck9837]

Thank you for posting a video with two styles of coleslaw. I like creamy coleslaw the best, but like to mix it up with vinegar slaw for health reasons. I did not realize coleslaw contained sugar and love the reduced sugar aspect here. I am excited to try both recipes.

[@MyVintageLife]

I actually have been mixing both versions and adding lemon juice, with red onion, oregano, and Catalina dressing. I am so stuck on this!🥰😍

[@janlavallee4418]

I always did the mayo dressing but now am hooked on the vinegar based dressing. Both yours are so pretty.

[@ceeyalata1648]

Hi, I love coleslaw & wanted to make my own for the very 1st time! I made the mayo based coleslaw. I didn’t have celery seed so I used 1/4 tspn of celery salt in place of 1/4 tspn of salt. I added 2 stalks of celery-finely chopped because I love celery! This was honestly the best tasting coleslaw I’ve ever eaten & I’ve had a lot! Thank you so much for sharing your recipes! I’ll be making the oil & vinegar based one next!! 😍

[@Harrrgh]

Fabulous recipes. Thanks!!

[@TechWiz1983]

Love this! My mouth is watering; can’t wait to make both and taste them!! You are fun - thanks for the recipes.

[@mariveldavis8922]

I love both salads I can’t wait to try them both .thanks for your recipe.

[@Royallibleu7]

I tried the vinegar one with some crockpot jerk chicken tacos and my family said this is a new staple in the house Thank you for this even 3 years later

[@jenniferrobbinsmullin3417]

Both look great, thanks! Will be making the mayo one later for tomorrow's supper.

[@shelleypicott3239]

Lisa I make my coleslaw both ways depending upon the venue. At home, mayonnaise but if it is for a cookout or where refrigeration might not be available I use the vinegar based dressing. Thanks as always for such great tips and ideas.

[@TheOneAboveAll]

Looks delicious both ways. I'm going to try the vinegar one first. I always make the mayo one. I like it the next day as well. Allows the cabbage to sweat and makes a sweet and tasty juice.

[@bryanjuwig6240]

that my Dear is the best oil & vinegar dressing I have ever had. I have made up a quart to keep in the refrigerator to use on my homegrown tomato & vidalia onions marinated salad. It goes great on cucumbers, as well.

[@roquindo]

Used to be on the mayo side. Now I’m switching to the vinegar side. Very refreshing. Thanks for sharing your recipe!

[@soyoonakim]

These salad recipes are perfect for summer! I made your potato salad on Tuesday(it was so good!) and wanted to make another one today for next week and you just uploaded a new recipe as if you read my mind lol Thanks, I always enjoy your videos :)

[@Downshiftology]

Oh yay! Happy you loved the potato salad. You should definitely give these coleslaw recipes a try as well. Enjoy!

[@Enoki536]

Both looks delicious I'm going to try them!

[@StacyForest738]

In the summer when we have home grown tomatoes all over the place, I dice a tomato over the slaw, the juice runs into the slaw, then add the diced tomato...different and adds such a fresh twist.

[@swanay1]

I loved the vinegar version! Thank you for sharing this video.

[@Downshiftology]

Hope you enjoyed the recipe 😊

[@Chococat_Ariana]

I love the sub-details that you add in this video. Makes rookies like me be more versed in the cooking world 🤗

[@shannalae3907]

I am going to make this today!Perfect summer side dish!

[@choosehappygratitude8802]

Cabbage is my healthy hero 😉 thx for more great tips!

[@anye76]

Both looked good. I'm not a big Cole slaw fan unless it's on grilled footlong😉 I will try both of these tho. I'm intrigued by that vinegar one

[@amandab.4298]

Can't wait to try these out! Keep the easy, healthy summer recipes coming please!!!

[@Downshiftology]

Thanks so much Manda! And will do. :)

[@SweetChicagoGator]

@@Downshiftology Love your healthier version of the coleslaw dressing ! Also your potato salad recipe ! Love anything with potatoes, cabbage or broccoli in the recipe. 👍😀

[@alanaltshuld]

I’m definitely going to make both even though I’m in the mayo camp! Always great videos and recipes. Thanks, Lisa.

[@Downshiftology]

Thanks Alan! And it's always good to have options, right? ;)

[@alanaltshuld]

Downshiftology Especially when one has a large group of friends with such differing tastes!

[@rayprevailer8454]

I made the vinegar version and added a little sesame oil. Gives a great nutty flavor. Turned out fantastic. Thank you.

[@gracefire7]

Sesame oil -- great idea!!

[@keithdavidson4723]

Great recipe. Thank you 🙏🏻. Some toasted sesame seeds would add a lovely additional flavour if sprinkled on top at the end.

[@felixmoreno91]

The vinegar one is my go to side now

[@nidhivaidya6485]

Recently found your channel and it’s been so helpful in helping me try and clean up my diet (for health reasons) You are wonderful!

[@Downshiftology]

Thanks so much Nidhi! I hope you enjoy all my recipes. :)

[@FrugalOverFifty]

I love both kinds of coleslaw, and both of these recipes look incredibly delicious.

[@FreedomWriter3]

This reminds me of that one episode of Rugrats where Stu and Dede had a cookout and everybody brought coleslaw. 😁😊

[@angelaeisenhardt41755]

I was looking up a recipe to make for coleslaw within mayo because my boyfriend doesn't like mayo and yours looks so nice and fresh and I remembered once in a while my dad would make coleslaw with all red cabbage and it would give it such a beautiful color. He would cut the cabbage really thick and chunky. Cabbage is so good for you raw.

[@margaretevalandro863]

Thank you! Your recipe of coleslaw is incredible!

[@Downshiftology]

Thanks so much!

[@vfahey7889]

Usually I think for a long time about which kind of cabbage to buy, red or green. Thanks to you, I found a brilliant solution: mix both types of cabbage at the same time!

[@Downshiftology]

Yes, I love to mix the colors of cabbage. More vibrant that way too!

[@NathanofHumphrey]

Seems like a great dish to bring to a party. Simple and delicious. Thank you. I made the one without mayo.

[@Downshiftology]

Wonderful! 😊

[@smileyface4100]

Both looks delicious. Thanks!

[@ednatyler5501]

I have been looking for a vinegar version, thank you.

[@onthegowithcrazynazzie9755]

Yummy! I love coleslaw and I would definitely eat them both👍🏻 Thank you for sharing

[@Downshiftology]

It's always fun to alternate between the two. :)

[@ericam3287]

Never clicked so fast in my life. I definitely will try! I've tried a few of your recipes. Amazing!

[@Downshiftology]

Thanks so much Erica! And I'm happy you're enjoying all my recipes. :)

[@ericam3287]

@@Downshiftology yw!! I love mayo, but I think I would like to try the vinegar based coleslaw. But both are really easy and convenient to make. Thanks!

[@marwaelgandy112]

What a fantastic recipe l love it and I will try it thank you is not enough

[@sueann805]

They both looked great. I like both kinds. when I was young I don't remember my paternal grandfather "Grandpa" making much, but he would make vinegar coleslaw was diabetic and used liquid Fastsweet. Thanks for the memories.

[@talentlover2]

Special thanks for showing me how to cut up the cabbage!. I wanted to know this! Helpful!

[@felixgarciacordova3636]

Straight to the point, 2 delicious options, thanks.

[@2painful2watch]

Thank you lovely lady, I was preparing coleslaw tonight to go with our fish and realized I didn't have any mayo. You saved the day and showed me that you don't need mayo for coleslaw salads. Greetings from Toronto.

[@baliksupper6043]

Thank you,you’re such a star.Always clear and concise 🇬🇧

[@denisetaylor2527]

Great recipe!! I salted the cabbage first, put in a Callander over a large bowl and let it sit in the refrigerator for 2 hours. Lots of extra moisture seeped out. Then I rinsed the cabbage mixture really well and transferred it to a salad spinner to remove all of the excess moisture from the rinsing. I used your mayo based dressing, exactly as your recipe stated (except I only used 1/8 tsp of salt). Voila!!! A wonderful tastings coleslaw, without the dressing getting soupy. Thank you.

[@skyejones357]

I try it today and everyone loves it thank you

[@markrosier6889]

Loved it!! The general recipe was good and of course I didn't have a couple of the accents like carrots. Used my garden's red bell pepper for color and everything, esp. the Braggs apple cider vinegar. All was good, today, but as noted tomorrow it'll be even better, if it were possible. Thank you.

[@trevorbromley-palmer]

Hi Lisa, I made both of these yesterday, another really terrific recipe from you. Whilst both were delicious, we decided our preference was for the more traditional mayo based one, but I will do both for our next BBQ so people can have a choice. Thanks again.

[@Downshiftology]

That's great you tried both! It's always nice to have options for parties as well. :)

[@denisemitchell8477]

[@fabiennemitchell2371]

A ¼ teaspoon of celery salt is absolutely delicious. Sometimes, I cut a garlic clove in half and rub the outside of the mixing bowl with it. The coleslaw has a mild hint of garlic which is not bothersome.

[@misterdave75]

Italy tuning in 😊

[@karen_james]

I actually enjoy both versions. It all depends what meat or main meal I'm serving with it. Great recipes. 😊❤

[@Alasinvisibles]

Thank you They are both so good! 😊

[@MichelleQuintiaVLOGS]

I would grate an apple to sweeten it instead of honey. 😊

[@lordacler2891]

Pineapple bits would also do the trick. 😉

[@PBPTLP]

Both excellent suggestions!

[@Mr.Helper.]

Erythritol

[@flippingforreal109]

That is a good idea...

[@StacyForest738]

@@lordacler2891 The pineapple is especially good if it is going with something BBQ, we did this tonight with BBQ tempeh in soft taco shells...mmm.

I am not a fan of mayo or salad cream based coleslaw, so the vinegar dressing is a great alternative and you can change the seasonings to your taste. I love putting a bit of fennel in my coleslaw it adds a fab flavour and a little something different..... xx
