Goldie's Cole Slaw

This is from the recipe drawer of Maxine.  I'm not sure who Goldie was, but apparently Maxine liked her Cole Slaw enough to write it down and put it in her drawer.  If any of you do know who Goldie was, please let me know.

I have never been one to like Cole Slaw myself.  I just don't enjoy dishes with a substantial amount of mayonnaise.  But I do understand that this is a popular dish for picnics and BBQ's.  So if you like some crunchy Cole Slaw on the side at your summer shindig, give this recipe a try!


8 c cabbage -- shredded
1/8 t. garlic powder
2 T. sugar
1 t. salt
1/8 t. pepper
3/4 c. real mayonnaise

Mix together, let stand several hours or overnight.
(Just to be on the safe side, with this much mayonnaise, I would add... let stand in the refrigerator several hours or overnight.)

  2. Lived in Tulsa about half my life and ate this coleslaw at Goldie's Patio Restaurant many times! It's good enough to make a meal out of. All you need are a few saltines - it's mildly peppery as is but I add extra pepper to mine when I eat it. It's also better with just a smidgen of sugar - I put in about 2 tsp, not 2 tbsp. Too sweet. This is a savory slaw. One more thing & then it's perfect - 1 (or 2) tsp dill pickle juice!

    1. I thought you would use the bread and butter (sweet pickles) juice?

  4. Me and many of our family members worked there in the mid 70’s to early 80’s. Here are true corrections: don’t use real mayonnaise for it won’t be sweet enough to be Goldie’s slaw… use salad dressing like miracle whip. That was not the brand used back then but close enough. Secondly, don’t ever…never use any pickle juice. Yes, Goldie’s was famous for the pickle bar, but the pickles stayed there… NEVER EVER was any juice added. For those that have been going there a long time, I was there during the “10 oz Special” days and when they actually served REAL potato fries.
