I just made one of the best batches I've had. I always struggle between the two bases. I bought a bag of slaw and added in one whole chopped jalapeno seeds and all and made both of these sauces:

Mayo Based: (this is Big Bob Gibson's "white sauce")
1/2 C Mayo
1/4 C Water
2 tbs Cider Vinegar
1/2 tsp Lemon juice
1/2 tsp prepared horseradish
S&P
1/8 tsp crushed red pepper
1 tbs sugar

Vinegar Based
1 Cup Sugar
1 tsp salt
2/3 Cup Veg Oil
1 tbs Dijon Mustard
1 Cup Cider Vinegar

I kept adding a little of both wet mixes until I got it right. It's basically 50/50 and you only need about half of each batch for one big bag of slaw. The key is adding a little at a time, stir and let it sit 10 minutes. It's way too easy to add too much.

Going on my crock pot boston butt (a first).

Sounds good

I'm a Cole Slaw connoisseur. I love good slaw and hate bad slaw. There is not much in between.

I mostly mimic Cock of the Walk slaw because that is what I have the most experience with. Sometimes I mimic David's. It is a much sweeter/ fine chopped slaw. Both are mayo based. Never have teetered with any vinegar based. I'll give yours a try.

Me too and I can't stand ANY kind of sweet slaw.

I love the slaw and hush puppies they bring out before the meal at Ezell's. I usually ruin my appetite for dinner because i eat too much of it.

Me too. Wish I had that slaw recipe.

Cock of the Walks Slaw Recipe:
Ingredients

2 heads cabbage, chopped in food processor for texture
1 large carrots, peeled and chopped
1/4 cup chives, chopped
1/4 cup vidalia onions, chopped
1/4 cup bell peppers, chopped
1/8 cup sugar
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon seasoning salt ( Lowery's recommended)
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1 1/2 cups mayonnaise ( Blue Plate recommended)

Directions

Mix all the ingredients together.
If it is bitter, add more sugar and let stand in the fridge for at least 1 hour but its better the longer it sits.

To me David's has the best slaw;I could eat a gallon of that stuff.If we eat slaw here at the house we just go up there and buy it.

Not quite but that will get you close.

I tried some vinegar based slaw at Chappy's last week. Old girl had to take the whole bowl back at the end of meal. Tasted like crap.

I'm going to give the Cock of the Walk recipe a shot.

Rebelman,
How about you give us the 'closer' version of it...

Wish I could but it is copyrighted not to mention I still have friends in the business. BP's will get you close. Mix everything but your cabage first, then add your cabbage. I prefer mine with more sugar.

Sugar in slaw? Might as well put it in your cornbread too. Blasphemy I say!

A recipe can be copyrighted?

It's probably an ancient chinese secret.

I like to put a few shakes of Tabasco on mayo based slaw.

Bump for TC

I like me some cajunjohns slaw sauce it's pretty dang good.

Y'all should swing by Mud Creek.

Yellow or white. That's all you need to know.

We aint talking potato salad and you better not be speaking of yellow slaw.
