I just want to take the time to thank Melissa for always providing a written recipe. I’m sure that is a lot of work on her part but much appreciated by subscribers. Trust me, there are lots of channels that don’t do this. A huge thanks! I enjoy this channel very much. I just bought all ingredients to make his “worlds best brownies” recipe. I haven’t watched that video in a bit and I’m wondering whether I need to make the espresso or just use the unmade. I’ll go back and watch it again which I normally do anyway. Their recipes are by far the best I’ve seen! So thanks guys! Go subscribe and always thumbs up! You won’t ever be sorry you did! Another thing, share, this way you will always have the recipe. If you share it to yourself.

[@comesitatmytable9044]

Just add the powder. That will really enhance the flavor. We so appreciate your nice comments. I know I like written directions so I like to provide what I want in a video when we make them. Thanks again for your support and encouragement.

[@tamibell4325]

Thank you so much for sharing your recipe with us! One of my favorite foods is cole slaw!!! I love the cole slaw with either the vinegar or pickle juice but also live the pineapple cole slaw. I guess it's what you are eating along with the cole slaw. Fried fish & hushpuppies, fried chicken, turkey, grilled cheese and soup or even on a hamburger! I really love KFC's cole slaw. And I actually got a slaw from a Walmart deli once that was so delicious! Anyway, I have always made my own cole slaw from scratch. I remember sitting on the kitchen counter when I was 8 and my Mother using her Kitchen Aid to grate the cabbage and carrots. I couldn't wait til dinner to eat her cole slaw! We always made our own pickles with the cucumbers that my precious Dad grew. Everything we ate was home grown! I would give anything to go back to those beautiful times! I thank you so much! God bless you! ❤😉💞🙏😘

[@camrobn]

I like dill pickle juice alternately for apple cider too.

[@garfieldrupe630]

Thank you for posting this. The only thing I would leave out it the sugar. I never could wrap my head around sugar in coleslaw dressing or potato salad as well

[@lilblackduc7312]

I made Coleslaw from memory exactly like this over ten years ago, then forgot how I did it. This show helps me remember the ingredients/ratios so I can start making it, again! You two are the greatest help & encouragment for someone who began living alone & just stopped cooking. Thank you and God bless...🇺🇸 👍☕

I'm so happy that I found your channel and I love all of your recipes. Thank you for sharing ❤❤😊😊

[@SD7024]

I buy a bag of angel hair coleslaw at grocery, it's very finely shredded. I don't add onion. I make the dressing; Duke's mayo, apple cider vinegar, celery seed, low sugar ketchup, salt and pepper. Sometimes I add sweet paprika, if I don't have celery seed. I keep the dressing separate. The coleslaw stays crisp, never gets soggy. I sprinkle chopped fresh chives, just before serving. It's great with fried fish, and also on sandwiches. And, by keeping dressing separate, you can use different dressings with it. Love your channel. I'm going to make the Mexican chicken casserole, but I'm using a tasty brand of canned chilli, instead of chicken. So, it's Mexican beef casserole.

[@barbarakrall1184]

Another one of your recipes to make! I don't have a cole slaw recipe, and this one looks scrumptious! I think I will buy the celery seed! LOL Will make this at fish fry time, Lent. I enjoy your videos so much. Thank you for all you do for us.

I had a friend who put radishes and pickles in his cole slaw along with most of what you just used. I think he used a commercial dressing in his though. But he made very good cole slaw. I have found a touch of garlic powder adds a good flavor. Thank you for this video, it was wonderful.

[@sandraabney9711]

Thank you for this recipe! Th I a is the best coleslaw I have ever made. The onion juice is the difference.

[@dixiebagsbydixie7809]

This is the recipe I grew up with sans onion and celery seed. When people start talking about buttermilk in their slaw I just don't understand. There is one thing that I do that helps with it being watery. I place my grated cabbage in a bowl with a couple teaspoons of salt. Mix it together and let it set about 10 minutes. (With clean hands😊 )I pick it up by handfuls and squeeze the daylights out of it and put it into another bowl. Most of the water can then be discarded. Your slaw will be creamy and won't be watery even the next day. Just make sure you taste it before you add more salt at the end. Most of the salt is washed away by the juice but better safe than sorry.

[@patmarkham519]

I never thought of doing that!(It's fustrating having it get watery everytime you make it!) I will try this out & see what happens..Incidentally, I bought a cabbage today to make coleslaw!( talk about perfect timing!) Thanks for the tip.

[@brianthomas8098]

I just made this exact recipe but only substituted a 16 ounce bag of coleslaw mix. The mix to dressing ratio is perfect. I included the onion and grated onion and juice. Excellent dressing and recipe! Thanks, Tom and Melissa for sharing. FYI… I live in Lexington

[@comesitatmytable9044]

I love finely chopped cole slaw, yours looks delicious. When I was young my Mom added chopped pineapple and baby marshmallows to hers. It was a delightful treat to have it on hot sumner evenings. She and Dad often brought a big bowl to pot luck dinners on Tuesday nites at the church. It goes so well with ham and beans, and BBQ ribs, as well as fish fry and hot dogs. I guess you could have it with lots of things, it brings back many fond memories of days gone by with my family. Nowadays the kids are grown and I usually leave out the marshmallows, but it was a real treat to them too.

My mom has made pretty much the same dressing for coleslaw as long as I can remember. She doesn’t put the celery seed in it but in later years she has used Red Wine vinegar and that is so much better flavor in my opinion.

[@drkiehl9527]

Great. Idea. I like all your input and ideas of variations etc.

[@DebadooCreates]

Mine is similar, but I use red wine vinegar, I just love the flavor so much better than apple cider vinegar & I like a lot of vinegar in it balanced by the sugar. It may sound odd, but I also love to add a good bit of horseradish cream sauce. This also helps it stay thicker with the extra vinegar I like. I don't use celery seed, & I can't stand black pepper. I do like mine done in the food processor like that, but sometimes just buy the bag of shredded coleslaw mix with the carrot in it.

[@aliciamatheny7168]

Hello and Happy Labor Day! I wanted to write and THANK YOU for this Coleslaw recipe. This is the closest to my mom's recipe that I've found. She was a wonderful cook - as were her sisters. I grew up in Michigan, but my parents were from the south, and now, we too live in Alabama. Mom taught me how to cook many, many things, but I guess we somehow missed this! I went ahead and splurged on the Celery Seed :) I took a double recipe to our family gathering today (with our kids & grandkids) and it was a hit! As others have said, thank you for all you do - including showing all ingredients at the beginning, and the written out recipe. All in all I have enjoyed you videos thus far, and have made & plan to make many more of your recipes soon. Blessings!
