In reply to Oliver. Sure, those can be added to this slaw recipe.

Italian slaw also has cubed ham and peperocinis.

I added both onion and red pepper, and because I was a lazy girl used a 16 oz bag of coleslaw. I like the dressing just the way it’s written and might add a little stevia if feeding someone who needs a little less acidity. It’s a keeper.

I just found this and have already made it 3 times! I absolutely love it! I did make a little change though because I am not fond of the flavor caraway seeds so instead I threw in some Italian seasoning and it’s perfect! Can’t wait to try more of your recipes!

Can this slaw be frozen? Also, can I use ground mustard instead of Dijon (which I don’t have at the moment)?

Where does the sugar come from in this recipe? 3g? Thanks

I have been looking for a recipe like this! I also feel the same way about the mayo and sugar in coleslaw and I just had a fabulous version with added pomegranate seeds (like little jeweled rubies) tossed in. Thanks for sharing, will be making this next time I’m in the mood for Italian coleslaw.

I just made this tonight, and I want to provide some feedback.
I think the vinegar to oil ratio is the opposite of what it should be. This is very acidic. Next time I make it, I’ll add 1/4 cup of vinegar to 1/2 cup of oil. (In all fairness to you, I have a problem with reflux, so I can’t eat excessively vinegary foods.)
Also, I doubled the caraway to two teaspoons. With mustard as a primary source of salt, I halved the salt to 1/2 teaspoon.
I’ve been in need of a dairy- and sugar-free cole slaw recipe, and this one has a lot to recommend it.
Now that I have a fresh jar of caraway, I will use some of it, along with the rest of the unshredded cabbage in a crockpot with bratwurst tomorrow. (Both sugar- and dairy-free,) An added benefit, I’m expanding my spice repertoire.
Thanks!

In reply to Kathryn. I just slice it by hand but you could use a food processor as well.

Brenda, this sounds wonderful! I’ll definitely try it! How do you shred your cabbage?

This sounds great! I look forward to giving it a try.
