No Mayo Coleslaw
No Mayo Coleslaw is a must-have for your next fish-fry, outdoor barbecue or cookout! Sweet and tangy, this Southern vinegar slaw recipe is a winner every time and it’s super easy to make! Try whipping up a batch of this side dish to serve with homemade fried catfish!
Can I Make Coleslaw in Advance?
This Southern vinegar slaw can be made in advance; however, if you use packaged coleslaw with red cabbage, DO NOT pour the dressing over it until a few hours before serving. The vinegar and oil turn the red cabbage pink!
The best way to make marinated coleslaw in advance is to make the dressing in advance. On the day of serving, about an hour before you serve the coleslaw, heat the dressing to medium heat, pour it over the slaw, refrigerate and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, then serve.
Can I Freeze Coleslaw?
Unfortunately, cabbage does not hold up well in the freezer. No Mayo Coleslaw can be safely stored in the refrigerator in a sealed container for up to 5 days.

- 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon oil

Notes
- No Mayo Coleslaw is a quick, easy and healthy alternative to traditional mayonnaise-based slaws
- Because it has no eggs, it can sit outside at a barbecue or pool party without going rancid
