This coleslaw has just the right balance of flavor, it is sweet and just a little bit tart. These flavors together make the perfect coleslaw. The sweetness comes from the sugar in the recipe. This recipe is made with:

Want to save time? You can purchase pre-shredded cabbage and not have to worry about slicing the cabbage into small slivers. You could use a mandolin to shred the cabbage if desired. No matter if you slice it up, or buy it already shredded, you can quickly prepare this famous coleslaw.

So glad you liked this recipe! It’s so easy!

A Kansas classic. Use the heavy whipping cream and whip the sauce well. Takes 5 minutes with purchased bagged cabbage.

I’ve never had cole slaw made with whipping cream this made it so good! I usually make mine with Mayo. I will try this again.
