Coleslaw is a necessary side at any barbecue or potluck. There are two types of coleslaw you’ll likely see at every gathering: a vinegar-based version and one made with mayonnaise. I’ve always enjoyed the creamier texture of a mayo-based coleslaw more (and a great mayo-based slaw still includes a little vinegar). But for these 10 recipes, the creamy texture and sweet nature will be the star of the show. If you need a stellar recipe or two to pair with your meals this grilling season, try some of our best mayonnaise coleslaw recipes.
Cindy’s Coleslaw
“I have used this recipe for years and every time my family eats it they go on and on about how wonderful it taste,” says reviewer Allie Moody. “I use fresh cabbage and chop it into really small pieces in the food processor. It gives the coleslaw a creamy consistency over crunchy. We love it!!”
Aw-some Coleslaw
“This is a sweet but tangy coleslaw that my family loves,” says Allrecipes member CoOkInGnUt. “It reminds me of the slaw at KFC. It’s always best if left overnight.”
Restaurant-Style Coleslaw
“This has become our one and only slaw for cook outs and when we are having smoked tenderloin,” says reviewer illusive. “It is the perfect topper for BBQ pork sandwiches!”
Cilantro-Lime Coleslaw
“So awesome! Two of my favorites: cilantro and lime,” says reviewer Malia Brinkley. “I tried to be cute and measure out the ingredients, but why bother? This recipe is fool proof.”
Hawaiian Coleslaw
“This creamy Hawaiian coleslaw with pineapple is a nice mix of sweet, tangy, and crunchy,” says Allrecipes member Momof2andPup. “It’s excellent served with pulled pork.”
Creamy Spiced Coleslaw
“This creamy coleslaw recipe made with celery seed, onion powder, and garlic powder has lots of flavor,” says Allrecipes member Wilemon. “The seasonings complement each other and the cabbage. Sometimes I add fresh minced onion if I’m in the mood to chop it up. My family and friends love this coleslaw, especially with barbecue sandwiches and Italian dishes.”
Red Cabbage Slaw
“I made this tonight as an accompaniment to tri-tip steak from Costco. It was excellent. The flavors went really well with the steak believe it or not,” says reviewer whirlycook. “I made some home-made dinner rolls also. The combination of fluffy soft fresh rolls, tangy sweet coleslaw, and caramelized steak was AWESOME.”
Traditional Creamy Coleslaw

“The truth is, I’m VERY picky about coleslaw. I rarely like the ones in the deli or supermarkets, but I love this recipe,” says reviewer Susan Wilhelm. “It has the perfect balance for me—and my family. The dressing is divine and my kids noticed it right away, asking if I had made the dressing. It is worth the few minutes it takes to put it together.”
Easy Apple Slaw
Edible Times
“This apple slaw is one of our favorite summer recipes,” says Allrecipes member Aunt Mamie. “It’s a yummy combo of fruit and veggies in a sweet dressing—a must at every barbecue or potluck!”

“This Southern coleslaw recipe has been passed down the generations and is great for any occasion,” says Allrecipes members Kristina. “It has the perfect balance of sweet and tangy. I’ve even been told it is reminiscent of KFC coleslaw. You be the judge!”
