Summer Slaw is a deli-style cole slaw recipe loaded with fresh summer ingredients of cabbage, tomatoes, cucumbers, and green onions in a creamy cole slaw dressing that is lighter than most slaw recipes. This slaw recipe was created after I tried my local deli's summer slaw salad, it's light and refreshing with a semi-sweet creamy dressing perfect for summer!

  • 1 small cabbage (about 2 pounds finely shredded)
  • 1 tomato (diced)
  • 1/2 English cucumber (diced)
  • 3 sprigs of scallions (sliced)

Dressing:

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 3 tbsp sugar
  • 3 tbsp milk
  • 2 tbsp vinegar
  • 1 tsp salt

Instructions

Directions:

  • summer coleslaw
