This is my own recipe that I'm using for years.

In a bowl, mix:

1 cup mayo
2 heaping tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons vinegar
4 tablespoons water
pinch of black pepper
shake of parsley flakes (optional, for color)

Then add a bag of cole slaw mix (I use Dole) and mix well to combine.

Best made at least a night before you plan to eat it. (I make it Thursday night for Shabbos).

Sugar brings out the juices from the cabbage. If you don't have time to marinate the Cole slaw you can mix the sugar in and let it sit for about a half hour. Then add the rest of the ingredients and serve.

Sauerkraut, is that the same as cole slaw?

I hear if you slice, salt, and heavily weight down cabbage, it ferments in a few days, making sauerkraut. If the cabbage's own sweated water doesn't cover, you add some salted water. Sandor Ellix Katz writes about this. He likes fermenting things. He says to use only non-iodized salt for this purpose. I haven't done this.

Not sure if this is relevant.

The whole thread sounds great.

It might be even cheaper to put the cabbage and carrot, together, through the slicing blade of the food processor.

Also no harm in cutting up the cabbage by hand with a large chef's knife, bang bang. The pieces don't have to be smaller than little-bite size.

I make this almost every week (except between R"H and Hoshana Rabba).

It is no fail. Tastes like the best take out cole slaw - chap a nosh and others.

Make sure that the cabbage is very fresh

3/4 water
4-5 TBSP mayo
1/2 C sugar
1 tsp salt
1/4 C vinegar

This recipe comes from a cookbook that I have. its spiral bound but I can't remember the name. I have people ask me for this recipe b/c it is always so good.

For 2 bags of undressed coleslaw:
In a jar put:
½ cup white vinegar, ½ cup sugar, 1 tsp salt, squeeze of mustard. I don’t measure the mayo [I use low fat] but it is about ¾ cup. Then I add in water, again, I don’t measure, I just put jar under the faucet but it is probably about ½ - 3/4 cup. Then shake well and pour over coleslaw. You have to refrigerate at least overnight or make first thing in morning for Friday night.

1 bag.

The recipe calls for 16 oz bag. Since the cookbook was printed, bags have been downsized down to 12 oz. You can adjust down if you want to be precise.
