Description

I think I have developed a slaw recipe that will appease everyone in the creamy vs. non-creamy debate. This slaw is decidedly creamy enough, but also vinegary enough to be at home on a pulled pork sandwich. Oh, and it’s pretty healthy, too.

Ingredients

  • ¾ cups Buttermilk
  • ½ cups Sugar
  • ¼ cups Mayonnaise
  • 2 Tablespoons Canola Oil
  • 2 Tablespoons Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 2-½ teaspoons Garlic Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Peanut Butter, Creamy-style
  • ½ teaspoons Celery Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper, Ground Fresh
  • ⅛ teaspoons Maggi Seasoning (liquid)
  • ½ whole Lemon (just The Juice, Approximately 1 Tablespoon)
  • 2 bags (16 Oz Each) Tri-color Slaw

Preparation

Combine all of the ingredients, except the slaw mix, in an extra-large mixing bowl.

Note: Maggi Seasoning is a liquid flavor enhancer that is great added to soups, stews, sauces, vegatbles, stir fry or rice and is also great as a marinade for beef or pork. You should be able to find it in the spice section of your local grocery store – or at Amazon.com. Alternatively, you use a dash each of Worcestershire sauce and soy sauce.

Whisk the dressing until all of the ingredients are smooth and well-incorporated.

Add the slaw mixture and fold it in to coat it all evenly.

Cover, refrigerated, for at least two hours or overnight, stirring occasionally.

Serve and enjoy.

P.S. Here’s the story behind the peanut butter.

I usually put roasted peanut oil in my slaw, but I couldn’t find any locally and I was in a jam (no pun intended). So, I decided to simply use canola and peanut butter, since I was after a light peanut flavor.

Don’t let it scare you off. My kids say that this is absolutely the best slaw that I’ve ever made.

The slaw is wonderful! I made it a couple weeks ago for an afternoon BBQ and I’ve been requested to make it again today. I’m using broccoli slaw this time instead (maybe a little healthier) and so I’ll see how the change in slaw works.

Oh… and I also used sunbutter (peanut butter subs) and it worked just fine and I still got the nutty flavor. Just an FYI for those that might have peanut butter allergies in their families.

sounds great patiodaddio. I often make something similar, without the buttermilk, but a bit of asian sesame oil. something about that nutty flavor, just a bit, really brings out something in the slaw. good work.

It was yummy. Would never know it had peanut butter in it. Even my picky husband liked it. May try it with balsamic vinegar next time just for kicks.

Wow, this slaw tastes so good! Just made this for our 4th of July BBQ…the slight Asian flavor is very refreshing. I only had 1 bag of slaw, so halved the dressing and it was the perfect amount.

Made this for a Memorial Day get-together – and it was a nice change from the usual! I may actually add some peanuts and raisins the next time I make it for a little change in texture.

Thanks for the recipe!
