You must have E.S.P. Truly.
Sitting in my frig right now........waiting for me to toss it all together so that it can marinate for later today are some easy "ready to prepare" ingredients which I asked my husband to pick up at the supermarket yesterday, along with the Greek feta cheese, etc., etc., etc.
My own mom & my mother in law always made coleslaw from scratch, chopping up huge heads of cabbage....but my arthritic wrist, etc. has led me to an easier way...........
Three bags of DOLE brand "Classic Coleslaw" mix which is shredded cabbage & carrots........
Two jars of Marzetti "No preservatives" Original Slaw Dressing which you just pour over the coleslaw mix in a large bowl.
Let it all settle......refrigerate till needed.
I always prefer Marie's Cole Slaw Dressing, but Price Chopper no longer seems to carry it........just like they only had their brand of feta cheese yesterday........not Athenos like I wanted.
My husband likes a lot of mayonnaise; thus, I use the two jars, but you can use as much or little as you wish.
What I really like is the type of cole slaw we get along with fried fish in seafood restaurants up & down the coast of Maine, New Hampshire & Massachusetts; Cape Cod/Nantucket.
It's got very little, if any mayo........just a light vinaigrette with I am going to guess....apple cider vinegar, oil.... plus it seems to have celery seeds???? Not sure, but I know I prefer it.
But this DOLE bagged cole slaw mix is always nice & crunchy, thoroughly washed, preservative free. FAST & EASY.
I'm going up now to toss the coleslaw together. NO RECIPE.
