I’m looking for a creamy coleslaw recipe that will go good with BBQ’d ribs? I have a good recipe but it is sweet and on the dry side. I’m looking for something without much sugar or honey. Thanks.

Hi,
My coleslaw recipe uses mayonnaise, lemon juice, sour cream and sugar as the dressing.
I mix equal parts of mayonnaise and sour cream and add a squirt or two of lemon juice (more would make it moister but more tangy) and a tablespoon or two of sugar, to taste and according to the amount I am making. It can be as sweet as you like or less if you want it that way. Keep in mind that the cabbage is going to take up a lot of the sweet and tangy flavors. You can make this with just cabbage, add carrots, onion, a friend of mine uses tomatoes, put in at the last minute. I have tried that and it is very good.
My mother always used only mayonnaise in her coleslaw. We all liked it back then but it was pretty dry. I guess you could use enough to make it moist.
These are the two coleslaw recipes that I have used. Our local barbeque restaurants use the coleslaw that is made with vinegar and sugar with pepper and I guess salt. I have made it before and it was called Freezer Slaw. I don’t have the recipe but I am sure you could search for it and find a selection. Of course, it isn’t creamy.
