This recipe for Creamy No Mayo Coleslaw is sponsored by Kemps®. As always, all thoughts and opinions are my own.
Today we’re talking about coleslaw with no mayo that is still creamy, dreamy, and ready for your picnics, barbecues, and potlucks.
This no mayo coleslaw gets its tang from real cultured sour cream and apple cider vinegar in the dressing. This is so easy to put together, requiring just eight ingredients and ten minutes!
Kemps® Sour Cream is always my favorite. I’m all about making delicious food with quality ingredients, and Kemps gets their high quality product from local farms close to home (in fact, Kemps is 100% family farmer owned)! The product’s perfectly creamy texture and consistency also makes its a clear winner in our household.
It’s always easy to find Kemps Sour Cream at the Festival Foods near my house, as well as every other store in town. Every time I walk into Festival Foods I feel like they’re doing it all just for me.
Everything is neatly arranged, the produce is the freshest quality, and they know what I like! I happened to bring the kids with me the day I picked up the ingredients for this recipe and they walked out with jello, cookies, and a slice of pizza, all on the house!
Seriously, if the kids are happy, I’m happy. And we were all definitely happy about this coleslaw recipe using the Kemps Sour Cream we snagged at Festival Foods.
Y’all know I’m a real mayo hater, so swapping it out for Kemps creamy Sour Cream was a no brainer! The consistency is spot on with ordinary coleslaw. Plus I love the fresh taste!
We’re keeping this recipe super easy by using packaged coleslaw mix. It’s just cabbage and carrots that you don’t have to shred yourself. That means you’ll have more time to spend at the pool, hanging out with your favorites, or cooking up an elaborate main dish to go with it!
Coleslaw is a real summer staple for serving alongside grilled foods or on top of BBQ jackfruit sandwiches. Please tell me you’re putting coleslaw in your sandwiches, because if not you’re really missing out!
This creamy no mayo coleslaw can be easily customized! Here are a few ideas to get you started:
- Use 2 tablespoons granulated sugar in place of the honey
- Skip the prepackaged slaw mix and instead shred 6 cups green cabbage and 1 cup carrots
- Swap the classic slaw mix for the same amount of broccoli slaw
- Use 1 teaspoon dried mustard or 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard in place of the dijon
- Use Kemps Light Sour Cream for a lighter version
- Halve the recipe if you’re not cooking for a crowd (Kemps also offers their Sour Cream in 16oz option!)

Coleslaw in my favorites anytime, this looks yum!
Mark says
For the amount of coleslaw mix this calls for, the dressing was hardly enough. I made a double batch for 28 oz of slaw mix and it gave it a better coating without swimming in it. That being said, I like the simple flavor with a slight tang that hits at the end of the chew. Will definitely make again.

I’m glad you enjoyed it. I do like my slaw a little less wet, but I appreciate you sharing your adaptation for those who prefer it like you do!
Amy says
This was simple and good. Needed a coleslaw with no mayo and this fit the bill but was still a bit creamy.
