Coleslaw Recipes (No Mayo Varieties)

Updated on March 15, 2011

I don't like mayonnaise, but I love coleslaw. Fortunately, some of the best coleslaw recipes don't require any mayo at all, and are instead created with a vinegar based dressing.

These coleslaw recipes are a great side dish choice for many meals. They taste great with everything from barbecue sandwiches to a formal holiday meal.

Even if you like coleslaw made with mayonnaise, it's a good idea to learn how to make vinegar-based coleslaws.

These refrigerator salads taste great and are a better choice for outdoor cookouts and picnics than those with mayonnaise for safety reasons.

Each of the following coleslaw recipe ideas is easy to make and will keep in the refrigerator for several days.
