This is a great recipe for a no-mayo coleslaw, and it’s our family’s favorite. It lasts for several days in the fridge. However, if you make it with the purple cabbage it will get a nice purple hue to the whole dish. I usually make it the night before I need it. For a recipe like pulled pork tacos or pulled pork sandwiches, I will often make just half a recipe.

Still the best recipe for coleslaw! We just love it!
I agree!
I can’t find my recipe for coleslaw. I remember cutting up the coleslaw and pouring 3/4 cup of sugar over it and let it sit for an hour. Mine had green olives with red pimento in it. I could not remember the amts of oil, vinegar, real mustard and celery seed. I will try this recipe add what is not here and use real mustard and see if it is any where close to mine. I will probably find my recipe after I make this one.
Your recipe sounds quite different than this one. When you say real mustard, I think you are talking about prepared mustard, instead of the dry. Dry mustard as real as it gets :-) Usually you can use one tablespoon of prepared mustard in place of 1 teaspoon dried mustard. And I hear ya on finding your old recipe after you make a new one. That’s happened to me a time or two!
