OK, this is as close as I can get to a recipe for Mama’s Slaw. I started watching Mama make this slaw when I was little and graduated to helping. She never measured. It was always a splash of this or a sprinkle of that. So, I hope this describes enough for you to follow. It just takes practice to get the taste right…
Mama's Slaw
2 Carrots, grated
Mayonnaise, 1/2 cup or more to bind
Lemon Juice, 1 teaspoon or so
Sugar, 1 teaspoon or so
Salt & Pepper to taste
Grate the cabbage, then grate the carrots. I usually look at the color to know how many carrots to use. Sprinkle lightly with sugar. (Probably about a teaspoon or so) Sprinkle with lemon juice. I usually put two fingers over the mouth of the bottle and sprinkle about three or four shakes. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add enough mayo to bind it together. It will get soupier as it sits. Taste and adjust your seasonings.
This is the way my mom made it as well
ReplyDeleteMemories of my childhood.. I watched my mom make it also. She didn't use the carrots. She added a bit of sugar and pepper. She always fixed it as a side with pork pork chops or pork roast

ReplyDeleteI do the same recipe only I use white vinegar instead of lemon juice
ReplyDeleteThank You ❤️ I've had a bag of slaw and didn't know how to make the dressing.
ReplyDeleteI love to add a couple shakes of onion powder or dried onion that come in jars! And I use vinegar for tanginess, but I'll try lemon juice!
ReplyDeleteMy mom was so like your mom. She never measured. I learned to cook by watching her. She never taught 😆 Mom didn't put carrots in hers. She used a mixture of country cream, Miracle Whip, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper. appcountry cream and mayo..apple cider vinegar,
