Related: About this forumHave any no-mayo cole slaw recipes?
I'm always on the lookout for a great no-mayo cole slaw recipes. In the past, I made a basic cabbage/carrot/onion slaw and used (homemade) relish for the dressing. I've also used a recipe that substituted sour cream for the mayo. Something was missing. Recently, I tried two new recipes and loved them equally.
From PBS:
Try a healthier alternative with this no-mayo coleslaw recipe with lemon juice and honey for extra flavor. Food blogger Marc Matsumoto explains why he prefers his coleslaw without mayo in a full blog post on the Fresh Tastes blog.

and I tried this one, but used olive oil instead of canola. Also used sugar instead of splenda.

(53,093 posts)The typical recipe calls for oil, cider vinegar, sugar, celery seed, salt and pepper. I find it doesn't need nearly as much sugar as recipes call for, so I use about 1/4 the sugar. I like tangy, acidic flavors, though.
Most of the recipes I'm finding now call for dry mustard. I mix mine by taste, but I like it with more vinegar than oil and about a 1 to 4 ratio of sugar to vinegar. I generally use pure olive oil, lighter than extra virgin. I don't buy vegetable oil. I would also use canola oil.
Dressing:
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon celery seed
1 cup cider vinegar

(30,884 posts)This link is similar although in Maine we used a lot less sugar and the slaw ingredients were shredded carrots and cabbage and a little minced onion. We also cooled the dressing to warm before tossing it - that would allow the veggies to absorb the dressing without wilting completely.
