It has a unique zippy flavor and all of your favorite ingredients from traditional coleslaw. Serve this up as a refreshing summer side dish at your next picnic, or add a scoop to your plate when you have your next fish fry. However you choose to serve this Vinegar Slaw, everyone will love the unique taste!

What You'll Need

1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup white vinegar
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 (16-ounce) package shredded green cabbage

What to Do

In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, vinegar, oil, salt, and pepper over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, stirring until sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

I don't like traditional creamy slaw, but I think I could really like this recipe!

This is the only type of coleslaw I like. It is a lot of sugar, I think that could be cut in half, and be sure to add celery seed. Also I wouldn't use nearly that much oil, just a couple of tablespoons. Since I hate coleslaw made with mayonnaise, I've been faking this type of coleslaw for years. :)

I suppose you could use a sweetener like Splenda

Why ruin a tasty and healthy coleslaw with all that sugar?

We used such a recipe for coleslaw, but without the sugar! We adjusted the oil-to-vinegar ratio to taste. We never had a mayonnaise-based coleslaw growing up.
