Vinegar substitutes for the homemade coleslaw sauce


If you’re looking to replace apple cider vinegar in the homemade coleslaw dressing, there are a few options depending on your preferences and what you have on hand.


  1. Lemon or Lime Juice: Citrus juices such as lemon or lime juice can be used in place of vinegar in coleslaw dressing. These juices will add a tangy flavor and a bright, fresh taste to the dressing.
  2. Yogurt: Yogurt can be used to replace some or all of the mayonnaise in the dressing, and it will add a tangy flavor to the dressing without the use of vinegar.
  3. Rice Vinegar: Rice vinegar is a mild, slightly sweet vinegar that can be used as a substitute for white vinegar in coleslaw dressing. It has a milder flavor that won’t overpower the other ingredients in the dressing.
  4. Sour Cream: If you prefer a creamier dressing, you can use sour cream instead of mayonnaise in the dressing. This will give the dressing a tangy flavor without the use of vinegar.


Which WW Program are these points for?


WW has definitely changed from 2020 to now. They went from three to one plan to multiple plans and back to one plan again. So in 2023, we have just plain old “POINTS.”
