Blue Cheese Cole Slaw
It is an adult acquired taste.
As a kid I was a picky eater and tried every trick in the book to make my parents think I ate my food.
I went so far as stuffing the metal tube leg of the table with spinach. And making my sister eat my eggs so she could stop watching me and go out and play.
I even remember flushing ice cream down the toilet.
It wasn’t until I started dating my husband that I even would taste something new. And that was out of embarrassment.
Blue Cheese dressing is what makes this cole slaw stand out from all the rest!
And making it is so easy anyone can do it!
You can prepare it in under 30 minutes. Or you can buy the cabbage already shredded and ready to go!
These are the INGREDIENTS You will need:
SLAW:
- 4 cups shredded green cabbage
- 4 cups shredded red cabbage
- 4 large carrots shredded
DRESSING:
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon stone-ground mustard
- 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon celery salt
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
- 1-1/2 cups 6 ounces crumbled blue cheese
- 1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
These are the INSTRUCTIONS For preparation:
- In a large bowl, combine cabbages and carrots.
- In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, mustards, vinegar, celery salt, salt and pepper.
- Pour over cabbage mixture; toss to coat. Stir in cheese and parsley.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
The Blue Cheese dressing on a salad was one of them. Now I love blue cheese and many more acquired tastes.
This cole slaw is so tasty I can make a meal out of it!
If you love blue cheese, or blue cheese dressing, and you love cole slaw you will love this combination.
Try it one time and you will find yourself making it over and over again!

I just love this cole slaw. The tangy flavor is so unique! Of all the slaws I make this one is the best. But you have to love blue cheese! Enjoy.
I love it!! What a great use for bleu cheese! Thanks for sharing at the What’s for Dinner party. Have a fabulous week.
I just love this one Helen. Blue cheese has been my go to dressing since I met my husband. And days when lettuce is too much for my tummy, the cole slaw is great! Have a great day.
Another winner Marilyn. I’ll bet your family never eats the same thing twice. 🙂 TFS
They do eat a LOT of leftovers. I still cook for 12. When I make a smaller amount ti just doesn’t taste the same! Thanks for stopping by and enjoy an awesome week!
my mom would love this!
You need to make it for her! Enjoy your week
This looks so good! Pinned!
Thank you so much Liz!! Enjoy your week.
I bet the blue cheese adds a unique flavor to the cole slaw. Thanks for another great recipe.
Thanks Heidi, it really is very tasty. Thx for coming by.
I will have to try this! I love slaw but not too sweet. Bleu cheese is not my first choice but the two together sound delish 🙂
Terri, it’s delicious. Use Kraft as it isn’t as strong. You can use any dressing and its great. Thousand Island is good, judt like in a Reuben. Go ahead and use the idea and then post!
I love blue cheese but I’ve never put any in cole slaw. What a clever salad maker you are!
Thanks Maureen. You must try it, for a little something different!
This looks delicious Marilyn! Pinned and shared! YUM!
Thank you Joanne! I get tired of the same old thing. Don’t you?
