Homemade Coleslaw Dressing
Coleslaw dressing is a classic recipe that is easy to make at home with just a few simple ingredients. This creamy homemade coleslaw dressing is perfect for adding flavor to shredded cabbage and other vegetables and is a great side dish for barbecues, picnics, or family dinners.
Making your own coleslaw dressing allows you to customize the flavor to your liking, and you can adjust the sweetness, tanginess, and creaminess to suit your taste. Plus, it’s much more cost-effective than buying pre-made dressing at the grocery store.

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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
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.”

But when you make your own coleslaw dressings at home, you need to find a way to store them properly so that they retain their flavor, texture, and color.
Don’t worry; there’s a way to store it and make sure it lasts for more than a week. You need to make sure that you store it in an airtight container in your refrigerator. This prevents the air from entering the container and spoiling it.
So next time you have a surplus of coleslaw dressing, don’t hesitate to store it properly and enjoy it later.

I like it! And am easy - enjoy both mayo, yogurt, sour cream based dressings or vinegar base, depending on mood and who I might be feeding. Thanks for sharing, will try this weekend. 🌞
