This quick and easy homemade Creamy Southern Coleslaw is the perfect combination of creamy, sweet, fresh, and tangy. It makes a delicious side and it’s my favorite for pulled pork, too! It is just indescribably good. You have to try it for yourself!
Creamy Southern Coleslaw
It turns out that the trick to coleslaw is that it’s southern. I’ve tried to make coleslaw in the past, but it just came out blech. Then, as I was flipping through the hubby’s southern grandma’s cookbook, I found her recipe for coleslaw. Given my success rate for her other recipes, like this oven fried chicken which is the bomb and honestly would go amazing with this creamy southern coleslaw recipe, I decided to try her coleslaw recipe too. And OMG. Perfection.
This Creamy Southern Coleslaw is the perfect combination of creamy, sweet, fresh, and tangy. It is just indescribably good. You have to try it yourself. And it’s super easy to make too. After you prep the cabbage and carrots, you just mix everything in the bowl and refrigerate until you’re ready to eat!

What a fabulous recipe for coleslaw! I actually had a side of coleslaw this evening at a restaurant. I’m so happy to have your delicious recipe so I can make it at home in my own kitchen. 🙂
I love coleslaw goes so well with some fried chicken and this looks so good.
How wonderful to have your husband’s grandmother’s recipes! Family recipes are always something to cherish! This looks like amazing coleslaw! I love it on so many things (or on the side)!
