Gluten Free Cole Slaw Dressing

This Cole slaw dressing recipe has been in the family for years; not sure where it came from, although my Aunt Dorothy opined that my grandmother might have found it in a magazine.

But it's sweet and tangy and marvelous; I have never found a slaw dressing nearly as good.

The original recipe called for either all-purpose flour or corn starch; Cornstarch is, of course, gluten-free, but I wasn't pleased with the consistency. But you can use it if it's what's available. I have rice flour on hand, and i find it superior for thickening sauces and gravy.

I find this makes exactly enough dressing for pre-shredded cabbage sold by the bag (10-12 oz), but if you are shredding a full head of cabbage, double the recipe.

INGREDIENTS
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon white rice flour
  • 4 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tsp dry mustard
  • 1/2 cup cider vinegar
  • 1/3 cup water
Combine dry ingredients in a small sauce pan; beat in egg
combine vinegar and water, and mix into the rest of the ingredients over low heat.
Stir constantly until thick.

Remove from heat, and store in refrigerator until well-chilled.

Mix thoroughly with shredded cabbage

Allow to sit in fridge 2-3 hours before serving.

About This Blog

A guide to living Gluten-Free in metropolitan South Florida.

I'm not looking to become "Gluten-Free Guy" and wax lyrical on the joys of living with celiac disease, nor am I interested in compiling a recipe book. I just know how hard it is to find the foods we like and safe places to eat.

A few years ago, I created the South Florida Theatre Scene, so people could find reviews, articles, and theatre websites all in one place. And that's what I want to do with Gluten-Free South Florida.

About Celiac Disease/Gluten Free Diet

Celiac disease, also known as gluten intolerance, is a genetic disorder that affects 1 in 133 Americans. Symptoms of celiac disease can range from the classic features, such as diarrhea, weight loss, and malnutrition, to latent symptoms such as isolated nutrient deficiencies but no gastrointestinal symptoms.

The only acceptable treatment for celiac disease is strict adherence to a 100% gluten-free diet for life. An adherence to a gluten-free diet can prevent almost all complications caused by the disease. A gluten-free diet means avoiding all products that contain wheat, rye and barley, or any of their derivatives. This is a difficult task as there are many hidden sources of gluten found in the ingredients of many processed foods.
