The Best Vinegar Slaw Recipe
This delicious Carolina-style sweet and tangy vinegar slaw recipe is an ole time favorite around our house. It is easy to make and is definitely a crowd pleaser. BTW, we are not from Carolina. We live in Kansas. 😉
Jump to RecipeI don’t make this recipe as often as I should, and I don’t know why because it is a phenomenal dish, and since it has an apple cider vinegar (AVC) base it makes it good for you too. As far as I’m concerned anything with ACV in it is good for you!
Serving Vinegar Slaw
Vinegar slaw is perfect just served in a bowl allowing others to dish up their plate and eat all by itself but did you know many people enjoy it piled high on a BBQ beef brisket or pulled pork sandwich! Unfortunately, I am not one of those people but my husband is and he loves this slaw on his beef brisket sandwiches.
Because of its vinegar based dressing it makes the perfect picnic or any gathering dish. This recipe not only goes great with hamburgers, pork and beef sandwiches but it also pairs nicely with fish dinners.

Also just to make sure it is one cup of oil? I found it to be really oily tasting. Certainly didn’t help my gall bladder lol! Can you use les oil like maybe a couple of tbls? Thanks.

Love this recipe. Served it at a party and everyone raved about it.
It does seem to have a lot of liquid after sitting for 24 hours. Is that normal?
Any suggestions for making it less “wet”?
Thank you
Jett
Hi Debbie: I have always served my slaw with a slotted serving spoon. Never really thought of it as being too wet but I suppose you could be right. Maybe after 24 hours you could drain half the juices off if desired. Hope this helps.
