Homemade Coleslaw Dressing Recipe
Skip the store-bought stuff! If you are making coleslaw this Homemade Coleslaw Dressing Recipe is one of the best around! Plus its dairy free!
Backyard BBQ’s are a staple at my house. My husband loves to grill dinner for us. Â Many times a week I can look out the backdoor and see him at the grill, which leaves me in charge of the sides. Â
Who can complain? I love being in charge of only the sides. Â The side dishes are the icing on the cake. Â Of course, coleslaw comes naturally with anything grilled and my Homemade Coleslaw Dressing is our favorite.
Money Saving
I always make our own coleslaw dressing. Â I have never bought store bought coleslaw dressing. Not that I think it is bad, it is just so much easier and cheaper to whip up a bowl of dressing and grab a bag of coleslaw mix at the grocery store.
For a couple of dollars, I have a family size portion of coleslaw that tastes better than any pre-made coleslaw you can ever buy.
How to Make Coleslaw Dressing
Whisk together all of the ingredients to create the dressing. Pour the dressing over a bag of shredded coleslaw. Allow to sit a few minutes and serve.
That is it. The coleslaw does soften up if you let it sit a little longer. That makes this a great dish to prep ahead of time.
Vegan
This coleslaw dressing is made with a mayo base. To make it vegan simply use your favorite vegan mayo. We love to use Just Mayo.
Storage
Keep any uneaten coleslaw in the fridge for up to 2 days in an airtight container. The dressing is best made within 24 hours of using it.

Looks good! Any ideas of a healthy substitute for mayo? Maybe half of it Greek yogurt? We are on low fat diets.
Oops! I tried to rate this a ‘5’ and this crazy iPad selected 3 instead. Sorry!!
It was great!
How is that dairy free? There is eggs in the mayo. I’d use Vegan Mayo by Hellmanns. I like the addition of pineapple juice tho! Very creative!
Lee, eggs are not dairy. Dairy are any milk products from cows (milk, cheese, butter, etc.). Eggs are poultry.
