Creamy Coleslaw with Tomatoes

My mother often made this coleslaw recipe during the summer and for the holidays. It is something about the way the tomatoes compliment the cabbage that made me become a fan of coleslaw.

This coleslaw recipe is not dry but very moist due to the tomatoes and creamy because of the mayo. You are more than welcome to adjust the ingredients as need be.

Preparation KEynotes 

Cabbage

Choose any size or color cabbage you like. Some people like green and some people fancy red cabbage! Just remember raw red cabbage has a peppery taste, and raw green cabbage is sweeter.

Try and make sure when you shred the cabbage, you get out the big pieces.

Tomatoes

You are welcome to use any tomato you see fit.

  • 1 Better Boy tomato
  • 3-4 Roma tomatoes
  • 7-8 Heirloom tomatoes
This is a Better Boy tomato! I hulled out the inside.

When cutting the tomatoes, cut them in half and take out the inside. You don’t have to, but depending on your tomato, it will be extremely juicy.

Vinegar (optional)

What is your favorite vinegar? I have always used apple cider vinegar, but you are more than welcome to use white vinegar.

I add my vinegar to the cabbage and tomatoes first, then add all the other ingredients.

Mayo

I mostly use Duke’s Mayo, but I have used Miracle Whip. If you use Miracle Whip, do not add sugar, it will make it too sweet.

Sugar

Only use white sugar, no substitutions!!

LET IT CHILL

Make sure you let it chill for at least 30 minutes. This is a recipe the longer you let it chill, the better it will taste.

Enjoy!!
