CLASSIC SOUTHERN COLESLAW RECIPE
This Southern coleslaw recipe has been passed down through generations in my family and is a staple at any gathering. The simple yet flavorful combination of tangy vinegar, earthy celery salt, and creamy Dukes Mayo makes this coleslaw a perfect side dish for your next cookout. It can also be used as a condiment on pulled pork or BBQ sandwiches.
To make the classic Southern coleslaw, whisk together Duke’s Mayonnaise, vinegar, celery salt, and chopped parsley until smooth in a large bowl. Add in the shredded cabbage mix and toss until fully combined. Chill the coleslaw for at least 1 hour before serving to let the flavors meld together.
Avoid using red cabbage in this recipe as it will turn purple once the dressing is added. Pre-shredded cabbage mix with carrots is recommended for convenience, but if you prefer to shred your own cabbage, make sure to do so evenly using a mandolin. Duke’s Mayonnaise is the preferred mayo for this recipe, but Hellmans can be used as an alternative.
For optimal flavor, prepare the coleslaw at least a few hours ahead of time or even the night before to allow the flavors to absorb into the cabbage. Southern coleslaw is known to taste even better on the second day! If serving outside in summer, place the coleslaw bowl inside a larger bowl filled with ice to keep it chilled.
MY FAMILY SOUTHERN COLESLAW RECIPE
This Southern coleslaw recipe has been passed down in my family for generations and is a staple at any gathering. The flavors are simple yet delicious, with tangy vinegar and earthy celery salt complemented by creamy Duke’s Mayonnaise. Whether served as a side dish or as a condiment on pulled pork or BBQ sandwiches, this coleslaw is sure to be a hit at your next cookout.
I have made two small changes to the original recipe – substituting apple cider vinegar for white vinegar and adding fresh chopped parsley for added color and freshness. However, the essence of the recipe remains true to its original form, as it was taught to me years ago.
If you’re following a keto diet, I also provide an alternative version of this recipe using Allulose as a substitute for table sugar. This makes the coleslaw keto-friendly and suitable for those looking to cut calories and carbs. It’s a perfect option for diabetic family members or anyone seeking healthier alternatives.
MESSING WITH TRADITION
This Southern coleslaw recipe has been passed down through generations in my family, and it has always been a classic staple at our gatherings. The recipe is simple and straightforward, but the flavors are perfectly balanced, from the tangy vinegar to the earthy celery salt. The creamy Duke’s Mayonnaise brings all the ingredients together, making this coleslaw a must-have side dish for any cookout or gathering.
While coleslaw is commonly served as a side dish, it can also be used as a condiment on pulled pork or BBQ pulled chicken sandwiches. I recommend serving a ½ cup portion as a side dish and a ¼ cup portion as a condiment for BBQ sandwiches.
I have made two small changes to the original recipe that was taught to me years ago. Instead of using white vinegar, I use apple cider vinegar for added depth of flavor. Additionally, I add fresh chopped parsley to give the coleslaw some color and freshness. These changes enhance the original recipe without compromising its traditional taste.
HOW TO MAKE SOUTHERN COLESLAW
To make Southern coleslaw, start by whisking together Duke’s Mayonnaise, vinegar, celery salt, and chopped parsley in a large bowl until smooth. Make sure to use Duke’s Mayonnaise for that authentic Southern flavor.
Next, add the pre-shredded cabbage mix (without red cabbage) to the bowl and toss until fully combined with the dressing. It’s okay to use pre-shredded cabbage to save time, but if you prefer to cut your own cabbage, make sure to shred it evenly using a mandolin.
Once everything is mixed together, chill the coleslaw in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together and enhance the taste of the coleslaw. For best results, prepare the coleslaw a few hours ahead of time or even overnight so that the flavors have more time to develop.
If you’re serving the coleslaw outdoors during summer, place it in a smaller bowl and then put that bowl into a larger bowl filled with ice. This will help keep the coleslaw chilled and fresh throughout your gathering.

TIPS FOR MAKING SOUTHERN COLESLAW
1. Use Duke’s Mayonnaise: Duke’s Mayonnaise is the preferred mayo for this coleslaw recipe as it adds a rich and creamy flavor. If you can’t find Duke’s, you can use another brand of mayonnaise, but the taste may vary.
2. Chill before serving: It’s important to refrigerate the coleslaw for at least 1 hour before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together and gives the cabbage a chance to soften slightly.
3. Avoid using red cabbage: While red cabbage may look appealing, it can turn your coleslaw purple once it comes in contact with the dressing. Stick to using pre-shredded cabbage mix with carrots for best results.
4. Make ahead of time: Southern coleslaw is often better the next day as the flavors have had time to develop. Consider making it a few hours or even the night before your gathering to allow the flavors to fully absorb into the cabbage.
5. Keep chilled when serving outdoors: If you’re serving coleslaw outside during hot summer months, place the coleslaw bowl inside a larger bowl filled with ice to keep it chilled and prevent spoilage.
