Excellent recipe! I really thought that the Old Bay would overpower it but it didn't. I omitted the bell pepper and onion and it turned out great.
Being from the east coast Old Bay is something I grew up with. When I made this coleslaw OMG ! For those who don't care for bell pepper, try using celery instead. I use lemon juice instead of vinegar sometimes to switch it up. Add some shrimp or crab and it's completely over the top. Thanks for posting
This is a very good recipe, and quick and easy to make. I made the sauce exactly as listed, though used light Miracle Whip. The Old Bay Seasoning gives it a little bit of a refreshing bite. I used a bag of shredded slaw cabbage with carrots instead of chopping my own. The recipe made a perfect amount of sauce for one bag of slaw cabbage.
I really liked this coleslaw. I dont make it much because I have to adjust the sugar so much until it isnt as sweet as candy. This one was great with only 2 tsp. I also really liked the addition of the Old Bay seasoning. I had the garlic and herb flavored one and that worked fine. For ease I used a 10oz un-measured bag of shredded cabbage from Trader Joes. I also used pre-shredded carrots I always have on hand anyhow. I minced the onion and blended with the vegetables I kept separate from the dressing until serving. I tried some with and without the green peppers. I much liked it without. The green peppers sort of make it taste different than classic coleslaw. I would make this again for a family bbq. Only change is I would probably double it as this only makes about 6 servings. I would also leave out the green pepper and mix in the dressing again right before serving. Ty!
The Old Bay seasoning is subtle but certainly recognizable. Nice option for coleslaw we liked it!
Mixed reviews here. 3 stars and 4 stars so giving benefit of doubt. Probably due to the mayo vs. Miracle Whip opinions. Didn't use the bell pepper and would add the suggested celery next time for an added texture and flavor.
No one in my family liked this at all. The taste was just terrible for us.
Had some imitation crab meat and added it to this. Was great. Think real crab would even be better
The flavor on this was very mild. The next time I make it I'm probably going to add more seasoning. I also ended up tripling the recipe to feed my family of six as a reasonable side dish. It's 8 servings if you maintain a very small portion size which doesn't work for a family of farmers. On the whole though it wasn't bad. Just needs a little tweaking to serve my family's tastes.
