Easy. Delicious. That’s what I want from my coleslaw. Oh sure, sometimes I’m feeling more fru-fru and add ‘weird’ things to my slaws. But not this time. This Memphis-style coleslaw was put together in no time using ingredients I had hanging around. I didn’t have to make a shopping list. I didn’t have to do a lot of prep. It’s basically an ‘everyone into the pool’ recipe, and I like those. The slaw is sweet and creamy and crunchy. That’s my favorite kind.

Made Fresh, So Eat It Fresh
I have a thing about my coleslaws. It’s a texture thing. I gotta have that crunch. Fresh cabbage. I’m not a big fan of most coleslaws after they’ve been around a few days. They tend to lose that crunch that I love. If you’re the same, then do what I did. Eat it just as soon as you make it. This Memphis-style coleslaw is so good you’ll have no problem doing that. Put extra on your plate if you need to. You’ll want to.
I almost always use Blue Plate mayonnaise in the dishes I make. I think it is the best around. If you can’t find it locally you can pick it up online for a fair price.
