KitchenAid KFP0922CU 9-Cup Food Processor with Exact Slice System – Contour Silver
Yes, I said it. You can make this even easier by using 2 bags of store-bought coleslaw mix. It makes this a super simple coleslaw recipe.
I don’t mind shredded up some cabbage and carrots thanks to my food processor doing most of the work, but if you’re making coleslaw for a large crowd the store-bought is just as good and a huge time saver!
I opt for making it myself most of the time as we can’t find an organic coleslaw mix.
The food processor we use makes it even easier with the exact slice system. It makes even slices every time and I love it for making slices for salads as well.
After cutting my fingertip off with a mandoline (didn’t use a guard, thankfully learned my lesson!) I can never be without my food processor.
how to make coleslaw salad:
This easy coleslaw will take you less than 10 minutes to make! You really only need a few simple ingredients and how you prepare it depends on your preference and the time you want to take to make it. You could simply pick up a bag of coleslaw mix and coleslaw dressing from the store and mix the two together. Another option is shredding everything on your own and making homemade coleslaw dressing.
Sometimes we like to go with a mix of the two and make a homemade coleslaw dressing and dump over the coleslaw mix. This results in a simple coleslaw recipe, but we’re still making the dressing to our liking, we just don’t have to shred all the veggies and wash more than one dish in the process.

Our coleslaw dressing recipe is delicious and paired with coleslaw mix this easy coleslaw recipe is a keeper for potlucks! You can add more mayo if you like a creamy coleslaw recipe, we like more of a tangy vinegar coleslaw recipe. It’s seriously so simple and you’ll be so glad you started making it from home! There’s no need to buy the jars in the store, especially if you already have all the ingredients at home. You could easily just use our recipe with the store bought bag mix of coleslaw too.
All you need is:
- Mayonnaise
- White Vinegar (I prefer apple cider vinegar, but my husband won’t touch anything with it)
- Mustard
- Sugar
- Salt
It’s that simple to make homemade coleslaw! You have to have those ingredients, right? If you want to thin it out and use less mayo you can also use sour cream, buttermilk, or even yogurt for a healthy coleslaw recipe.
