Best Southern Wilted Coleslaw Recipes

IRENE'S WILTED COLESLAW

Irene's Wilted Coleslaw image

This is a very easy, tried and true recipe. I use a food processor with a shredding blade to get the right texture. You can use a bag of shredded cabbage (found in the refrigerator section of your market) instead of shredding the cabbage yourself. This is best made a few hours before serving or a day in advance.

NANA'S SOUTHERN COLESLAW

Just an old family recipe that I have been told is reminiscent of KFC coleslaw. You be the judge! To speed things up I sometimes just buy an already shredded bag of cabbage with carrots in it and then just chop it a little finer.
