I remember seeing a recipe on the site for Garlic Cole Slaw in the past. I searched and couldn't find it - anyone have the recipe?

TIA!

Steve,

This might be what you want.

Danny Gaulden's Coleslaw With Garlic

Dressing
1 quart mayonnaise
1 1/4 cups white sugar
1/4 cup French's yellow mustard
2/3 cup apple cider vinegar
2 1/4 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
3 cloves garlic -- medium size
1 squeeze fresh lemon juice
Dry Ingredients
2 small heads green cabbage
3 large carrots
1 small head red cabbage
1 bunch green onions

Here's the "cole slaw with garlic" recipe that we use at the store. Have tried to reconstruct it to a home size portion. Hope this works for you and that you will add it to your "good recipe" list.

Mix all the above dressing ingredients, except for the garlic, together in a large bowl or mixer. Take a cup of the now made dressing and put in a blender with the garlic cloves and blend until the garlic is pureed. Pour this portion of the dressing back into the main bowl of dressing and stir till well blended. Cover and place in refrigerator for at least 3 or 4 hours to give the dressing time to blend flavors.

Shred green cabbage and place in separate bowl. Grate carrots, dice green onions till very fine, and shred 1/3 to 1/2 of th red cabbage. Place each of these into a separate bowl also. Now put as much of the prepared green cabbage as you think you will eat into a large bowl and mix the carrots, green onions, and red cabbage, one at a time and by the hand full into the green cabbage until the desired color is attained, and the slaw looks fairly "busy". Add dressing SLOWLY and stir. When it is at the wetness level you want, cover and let stand in refrigerator for at least 15 minutes. The colder it is kept, the better.

The garlic in this recipe is suppose to be the "secret ingredient", due to the way it was originally intended to be used. That is, not enough of it to single it out, but if used properly, it would leave all of your guests wondering what you had in your slaw that gave it that special, superb flavor. When used in this respect, it can make your slaw taste like you have added a hundred great things to it.However, if you are a garlic lover, then add as much of it as your little heart desires. I don't have to sleep with you (ha).

Here is a recipe we use, and all of our friends love. It is the Cole Slaw recipe from Vincent's Seafood restaurant in Dallas, very garlicky and tangy.

6 cloves garlic, pressed or minced

8 tsp horseradish

3/4 tsp salt

Mix above ingredients well

1 med head cabage, thinly sliced then chopped

Mix dressing with chopped cabbage. Make same day you wish to serve, at least 4-5 hours ahead of time. Keep chilled. Stir every hour.

Thanks Sarah, the recipe looks great!

I made Danny G's recipe above for a pool party this past weekend and it was well received. I'll try your recipe in a few weeks.

Jim and Casey, Thanks for the recipes; they both look good and I'll try them.

Have either of you tried purging your cabbage before adding the dressing so you can make the salad a day ahead?
