Creamy Coleslaw Recipe for a Crowd


This Creamy Coleslaw Dressing Recipe is frugal, easy to make, and is a great side dish to make ahead of time for a crowd at your upcoming gathering! Just be prepared to hand out the recipe, because people will definitely ask you for it!

You’ll Love This Easy Creamy Coleslaw Recipe!

This coleslaw is, hands down, one of the easiest side dishes you’ll ever make!

The creamy coleslaw dressing is slightly sweeter than typical coleslaw and it’s extra creamy (a.k.a. extra delicious!). It’s also naturally gluten- and dairy-free — making it a great side dish for those with allergies.

It pairs well with so many different meals and makes a huge batch, so it’s perfect for potlucks, picnics, summer cookouts, backyard BBQs, holiday parties, and more!

I have taken this creamy coleslaw to SO many events and it always gets rave reviews. It’s my go-to recipe when I’m cooking for large groups and need a frugal side dish to stretch the meal a little further (it easily serves 30+). 

As an added bonus, it can be made a full day in advance as it actually tastes even better when it sits overnight!

Ingredients for Creamy Coleslaw Dressing

  • 1/4 c. white vinegar
  • 1 c. sugar
  • 3/4 tsp. mustard
  • 3/4 tsp. salt
  • 30 oz. mayonnaise (about 3.5-4 cups)
  • 4 bags (16 ounces each) coleslaw mix*

*NOTE: I love using a coleslaw mix because it saves so much time, but you can totally make your own mix by shredding your own cabbage and carrots if you prefer. There are roughly 6 cups of shredded cabbage/carrots in each 16-ounce bag.

FAQs About Creamy Coleslaw Recipe

Do you need to use pre-packaged coleslaw mix?

No, while the prepackaged mix will save you a lot of chopping time, you may feel free to chop your own cabbage and carrots until you get approximately 25 cups of shredded cabbage and carrots (combined).

How long will this coleslaw keep in the refrigerator?

We recommend making this recipe several hours before you plan to eat it (preferably the night before) so the flavors have a chance to mix and marinate. Once it’s made, it should stay fresh for 72 hours (if refrigerated).
