Looking for a low cal cole slaw dressing. I like it on the sweet side.

I'm currently following the Weight Watchers system and I use this on
shredded cabbage with a bit of shredded carrot to make coleslaw. If you
want it sweeter, increase the amount of Splenda.

There's no law says cole slaw has to have a creamy dressing... sweet n'
sour no fat dressings work fine.

This is way better than it may sound. Adjust for low cal if you do that
kind of thing.

Mightn't those almonds get a wee bit soggy in texture? I'd put them in
the mix just before serving...

I try to find savoy cabbage or a really green cabbage. My last choice is
white cabbage. In most cabbage salad recipes, I like to add a bit of red
cabbage for contrast.

I asked because cole slaw is known only as something available at KFC
here, afaik. And KFC is rare. Tehrefore, I have no idea what kinds of
cabbage people woudl consider for salads.

I do a have a German vegetarian cookbook that lists the only printed
cole slaw recipe I've ever read. It includes red and white cabbage,
carrots, spring onions and a mayo+yogurt dressing. I love it. The recipe
is one of the reasons I want to but an FP. Easier chopping.

Napa cabbage is pretty nice for cole slaw. It has a much lighter, sweeter
taste and is a bit more lettuce-y. Might be best to salt it and let it stand
for an hour or so to leach out the excess water. It appears to be easier to
digest, too. My 2 cents' worth.

There are many of varieties of cabbage and many have multiple names. A
Chinese cabbage variety would be good like Nappa also known as wong nga
bok, siu choy, hakusai, pechay, tsina, and pai-tsai, (see what I mean) but
use whatever you have available in your area.

Thank you for all the suggestions. we have classic Western European
cabbages here, plus napa.
