Green Onion Coleslaw

My Green Onion Coleslaw, also posted as a guest post on Mom’s Test Kitchen, is kicked up with fresh green onion flavor. Combined with the sweet and tart slaw dressing, it’s a refreshing and delicious take on traditional coleslaw.

Itโ€™s cold out. I mean, itโ€™s been really cold out. Walking Missy in the morning has been down right freezing. Like, take your breath away freezing. At least for this part of the woods. I know there are other parts of the country that have had much colder weather, but itโ€™s all relative. Theyโ€™re colder than here doesnโ€™t feel colder than here. Make sense? Okay. I mean, if youโ€™re used to below freezing temps in winter, then a bit father below freezing is just as cold as the below freezing is here. Yeah. I โ€˜m just not splaining it right.

Anyway.

When itโ€™s THAT cold, I always think of warmer places, warmer weather, which always leads me to warmer food. Cause Iโ€™m all the about the food. And after my birthday dinner of barbecue ribs and coleslaw, I really wanted to try to recreate the coleslaw. It was really tasty!!

Iโ€™m a coleslaw snob.

Iโ€™m from the South.  Enough said.  Iโ€™m very particular about how my slaw is made.  However, this slaw, was WOW!  AH-mazing!  Holy cow!!  I have to try to make this slaw.  It was creamy, tasty, deliciousness that was the perfect side dish to the melt-in-your-mouth ribs on the plate.  It wasnโ€™t overly sweet, it wasnโ€™t full of pickles or vinegar.  It wasโ€ฆ perfect.

While this is tasty, itโ€™s not QUITE the same.  Iโ€™ll just have to go back to that restaurant to taste it repeatedly.  Oh nowโ€ฆtwist my arm.  *snort*

Since S isnโ€™t a huge fan of vinegar, Iโ€™ve tried to use one thatโ€™s not quite to potent.  This lead to a while new world of coleslaw.  This is delicious.  I will definitely be making this again when we have the barbecue chicken thatโ€™s in the freezer.  Itโ€™s good enough for a repeater.

  1. I made it. I have spring green onions in my garden and wanted to make cole slaw with them. I found this recipe , but I had to make some alterations. I only had a 1/2 cup mayonnaise, so I substituted 1/2 cup of plain Greek yogurt, as well. I wasn’t going to use the sugar, but with the yogurt, I opted for a tablespoon of raw sugar. I didn’t have tarragon vinegar and used apple cider vinegar instead and put in 4 chopped tarragon leaves from my garden. I also added a little over cup of green onions vs 2/3 cup. Although still a bit too sweet for me, it’s still pretty darn delicious.

    1. Wow! I love all the substitutions! Slaw is personal in nature. Some like it more mayo and some more sweet. At least you made a delicious sounding cole slaw inspired by my recipe! That’s what I love the most.
