I am in need of a Cole slaw recipe that does not use mayo. I always make it

to a cookout and do not want to use mayonnaise. Does anyone have a recipe
that they think is good, that does not include mayonnaise.
Or if you have other suggestions of salads to take that do not include mayo,
let me know. I used to have a good rice salad recipe, but I will have to
look for it. I think the rice salad used wild rice; it might have had rice
vinegar and some toasted almonds in it; not sure. If someone has something
along those lines, I would be interested.

Yeah....I had some from the supermarket like that, but it seemed more like
rice vinegar. Very mild, very tasty. Pretty much like what you might make
for cucumber salad. Didn't miss the mayo at all.

=========================
Yes, something like that is what I am looking for, but I think I would use
Rice Vinegar instead of Cider Vinegar; less bite.

If you are trying to avoid mayo because of spoilage worries, you can
relax. The notion that foods with mayo spoil easily is a myth, complete
BS. This applied only to commercial mayo, not to home-made, because the
commercial stuff is acidic enough to retard spoilage. See
http://www.pgacon.com/KitchenMyths.htm for more info.

If you have other reasons for avoiding mayo, try this sweet and sour
cole slaw recipe.

Shred or coarsely grate 1 lb of red and/or green cabbage. Grate 1 large
carrot. Mix both with 1/2c sugar and 1 tsp salt and let sit in a
colander for 1-4 hours. Discard the liquid that drains off. Mix with 1/2
tsp celery seed or caraway seed, 6 TB vegetable or olive oil, 1/4c rice
vinegar, and ground black pepper to taste. Can be served immediately but
is better if it sits in the fridge for a few hours.

One option is a boiled dressing. You can search for recipes or use a
bottle coleslaw dressing.

So, hit the cookbooks for a cucumber salad dressing. My mother used to make
it without oil, but nobody's got her recipe. Very light taste.

pfoley wrote:

Kilikini is right. Use a sweetened vinegar or brine formula (vinegar
with salt)

Dilute the vinegar to taste (offset the quantity of oil egg from the
mayo formula). Roughly 1 part vinegar 2 parts water, then add salt or
sugar to taste. Don't forget to use seasonings in the dressing.
Carraway, rye, or poppy seeds come to mind. If you want it a little
thicker (but clear), try cooking some corn starch with the vinegar and
water, that would be a good time to add the herbs. Corn starch is
commonly used in the fat free Italion dressing to add a little
substance without significantly changing the flavor. If you want it
creamy for a tradional look, try some unflavored yogurt with your
seasonings.

Sorry, I have no real recipe. I cook from "scratch" and run out of
tasting spoons while I cook. I'm sure someone here will be able to
provide a "real recipe". Even then you should prepare it to be
reasonably sure you like it. For potlucks I start with tried and true
bases. People ask for my recipes all the time. I tell them it is a
secret family recipe, so secret I don't even know how to make it.

Concoct your own dressing for your slaw - Mom's used oil, vinegar,
grated onion, celery seed, sugar, salt and pepper. Adjust all to your
taste - fake it.

Wild rice salad is wonderful! Fake that too. Maybe a raspberry
vinaigrette if you have any raspberry vinegar. Some dried cherries
(snipped) or dried cranberries. Sliced green onions. Toasted slivered
almonds at the end. Use decent rice, not the scruffy bits sold around
here (Meen-ah-soh-ta) as "soup rice."

Right, I believe cucumber dressing is not much more than sugar and vinegar
with maybe a couple of seasonings. Good idea.

I saved all the above ideas; all very good and easy to use. I like the idea
of the spices used; will try those.
Also, the Rice Salad ideas sounded interesting as well using dried
cranberries or dried cherries.
Thanks to you all for your help.

Make it brown sugar and add tart apples and a carrot, and you have my
friend's recipe that she brings to every picnic.

My grandmother used equal parts cider vinegar, sugar and water. Heat
enough to disolve the sugar, cool, use.

The best cole slaw recipe I know of is the recipe from the defunct 2nd
Ave. Deli's cookbook, but they call it health salad. This recipe does
not include any mayo.

I don't have the recipe handy now, but all you do is shred one medium
size head of regular cabbage. Take two cups of plain white vinegar and
mix in a bit of salt and white pepper, plus half a cup of sugar. I
replace the sugar with Splenda. Mix this liquid thoroughly in a big
bowl, than add in one shredded carrot and shredded green pepper. Mix
thoroughly, cover, and let it sit in the refrigerator over night so the
cabbage has time to ferment a bit.

This yields a light and flavorful cole slaw.

You could try a peanut butter based slaw. I've only tried a *gasp*
Martha Stewart recipe, and we liked it, although thought it could use a
bit less vinegar in the dressing (I'll admit that I'm not a measurer
though and may have inadvertently messed up the proportions).

Salad:

8 cups (1 head) cabbage, shredded
1/2 cup slivered almonds, toasted

ramen chicken flavor packet, cooking oil and sesame oil.
Stir until everything is well mixed. Set aside to cool.

You're welcome.
Here're the particulars for a slaw dressing from my sister's cookbook:

1/4 cup sugar
2 Tbsp vegetable oil
3 Tbsp vinegar
1/8 tsp salt
dash of pepper
dash of paprika
Shake all together in a small jar. Pour over shredded cabbage and
whatever else you like in your slaw (onion, radish, cuke, bell pepper)
I see that it doesn't have the grated onion in the dressing like my
mom's did.

Oh, I see that I forgot the cherry tomatoes and a little celery in that
wild rice salad, too.

This isn't the recipe I use (I don't have a recipe) but it will give you
something to consider.

I have never had cole slaw dressing that wasn't mayo based. This
sounds really good! We have some cabbage 'n' stuff in the fridge so
I'm thinking it's gonna be a slaw night in the Tammy household. And
the wild rice salad recipe sounds purty tasty too.

I've made this one before and it's OUTSTANDING. Really great on pulled
pork! I did substitute red peppers for green because that's what I had!

Mustard Slaw
Adapted from The Rosengarten Report by David Rosengarten

Serves 12-16

In the South, alongside BBQ, they love cole slaw dressed with yellow
mustard-and, after a friend showed me how to make a great version of it, I
love it too. I particularly like the following sweet, bright-yellow,
super-mustardy slaw right after it's made, when it's very fresh and
clean-tasting. Cuts through the 'cue like nobody's business. Also yummy on
hot dogs.

1 four-pound head of cabbage
1 large, green bell pepper, seeded, stemmed, and very finely minced (about 1
1/3 cups of minced pepper)
2 medium onions, very finely minced (about 2 cups)
2 medium carrots, peeled, shredded and finely minced (about 1 cup)
4 teaspoons celery seed
2 teaspoons salt (or more to taste)
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper (or more to taste)
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
24 ounces French's yellow mustard
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1/4 cup cider vinegar
Hot sauce to taste (I use about 1/4 cup of Frank's Red Hot; Tabasco is good
too, but you should use a little less of it)
1. Core the cabbage. Cut into broad, round slices about 1/3-inch thick, then
chop crosswise so that you end up with a pile of chopped cabbage, each piece
roughly the size of a corn niblet.

2. Place chopped cabbage in large bowl and add the green pepper, onions,
carrots, celery seed, salt and black pepper. Toss everything with the lemon
juice and reserve.

3. Add the mustard to another bowl and blend in the sugar and the vinegar.
Add the mustard mixture to the cabbage mixture and blend well. Add hot sauce
to taste. Adjust seasoning. I like to serve it immediately, but you can hold
it in the refrigerator for as long as a week.

Diakon would be a good subusitute.

Jicama ia a mild flavoured root vegitable mostly used for it's
crunchiness. For more info...google is your friend.

And with a touch of sweetness. I love jicama in salads.

Alan, do you think kohlrabi would also be suitable as a substitue? I find it
sweeter and less sharp than daikon, so I wonder. Kohlrabi is easier to find
here (no jicama in The Netherlands).

I've never tried Kohlrabi...Jicama is very nuetral in taste, mostly used
for crunch factor. I find diakon (japanese radish) the same...If Kohlrabi
is similar...mild in taste and crunchy go for it.

Thank you. It does similar, but also different. It's very likely to work in
the recipe in question, I suspect.
