Looking for a semi sweet vinegar slaw dressing recipe.....HELP!!!

[forktender]

It's for a family party on the 4th with youngin's and old folks, so it has to be pretty mild.

What comes to mind? I could use a little help with a proven recipe, please.

Thanks a bunch.

HI! Slaw tips:
My 1st job, we made it from scratch ! So?, here it goes.
When you make slaw and you want to have an equal flavor?
Sugar and vinegar needs to be equal to neutralize it.
my thought was to use Brown sugar and Apple cider vinegar, to put a spin on it, then adding yur spices you want?
You can add Mayo or oil, depending on what you like ?
IMO: use a mix of this:
Cabbage, Red cabbage ,Shredded carrots for color,
minced onion ,garlic ,peppers of choice green or hot ?
IMO: Use fresh Vegs, not dried, only for spices.
Make it a day ahead and let it sit overnight.
Hope I got everything covered?
After all it was 1976 when I learned this !
HAPPY 250TH !
ENJOY YUR FEAST!

Last thought?: Can add raisins or fresh apple cubes .

Here is the one I use. Been making it for over 15 years. Reminds me of the coleslaw my grandmother made. I like to add diced apple (squeeze lemon or lime on the apple first) and you can add some nuts too if you want....pecans, walnuts, or peanuts...

This is mine:

Semi-sweet vinegar coleslaw dressing, I use a Vitamix

Ingredients

• 120 ml apple cider vinegar
• 60–90 g sugar
• 50–60 ml neutral oil
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• 1/4–1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 0.2–0.5 g soy lecithin
• 1–3 drops hickory smoke flavor
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard

Method (Vitamix)

• add vinegar, sugar, salt, pepper, onion + garlic powder
• add lecithin + optional mustard
• blend briefly to dissolve
• slowly add oil while blending
• high speed 5–15 seconds until emulsified
• add hickory at the end, pulse once
• rest 30 min before use

Why the additions

• hickory: adds BBQ smoke character in micro-doses
• garlic/onion powder: stable savory base without fresh instability
• soy lecithin: stabilizes oil-vinegar emulsion, improves texture
• Vitamix: mechanically creates fine emulsion and creamier mouthfeel, reducing need for emulsifiers

my white slaw is pretty basic but people seem to like it...

sauce
1 cup mayo
6 tsp sugar
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1 1/2 tst kosher salt
1 tsp black pepper
slaw
1 2 lb-ish head of cabage chopped
2 large carrots shredded
1 small vidalia onion fine shopped

Mix the sauce in a bowl, chop and shred the rest and put it in another bowl.
Add them together and you got slaw.

I have one that’s primarily vinegar with just a bit of mayo to hold it together. Not creamy. Easy enough to adjust the sweetness as you make it I’ll have to take a pic of the recipe when I get home.
