There’s so many ways to make cole slaw, but my favorite is still the good, old-fashioned Southern mayonnaise-based kind! This is the one I grew up eating and still love to make!

Recipe Notes
Stacy's Notes: I make several kinds of cole slaw, a crunchy Asian one, an oil and vinegar based slaw, and then a good old fashioned southern mayo-based slaw, this one. If I have plain yogurt on hand (don't use vanilla!), I like to add that for some of the mayo, to cut down on fat and calories and tell myself it's a little bit healthier!
I like to make this slaw a few hours before serving, so it's not quite as crunchy. I would not make a day ahead, as it gets a little water-y and separates.
Enjoy!
