Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine the shredded cabbage, grated carrots, and chopped sweet pickles with juice in a large bowl.
- Add the Miracle Whip, vinegar, and sugar; mix well until all ingredients are evenly coated.
- If the mixture appears dry, add more Miracle Whip and pickle juice to desired creaminess.
- Refrigerate until chilled and ready to serve.
Tips & Substitutions
For added crunch, consider incorporating sliced bell peppers or green onions into the slaw. If you prefer a tangy flavor, replace some of the Miracle Whip with Greek yogurt for a healthier option. You can also use red cabbage for a vibrant color contrast. Adjust the sugar to balance the tartness of the pickles based on your preference.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this cole slaw alongside grilled meats or as a topping for pulled pork sandwiches. It pairs beautifully with Leonard Blush Fruit Slush for a refreshing meal. For a more complete spread, consider adding baked beans or cornbread as complementary sides. It’s an excellent dish for picnics and barbecues.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover cole slaw in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The flavors will continue to meld, making it even tastier. Avoid freezing, as the texture can become watery upon thawing. Serve it chilled straight from the fridge for the best taste.
