Coleslaw is one of those crazy dishes that has about a thousand different variations. Some people make it with mayo. Some with vinegar. Sometimes it is sweet. Sometimes it is sour.
My coleslaw is more of a combination recipe, and it has the bite of Chesapeake flavoring (like you are eating crabs out on the back porch or cooking fish and chips).
If you want a totally different type of cole slaw, try my cranberry and ramen slaw recipe.

- Grate the carrots and onion directly into the bowl.
- Add the mayonnaise and toss well.
- Add sugar and remix.
- Sprinkle with more Old Bay to match your taste preferences.

- For a very limp slaw, refrigerate several hours or overnight.
