According to experts, an average gallon of coleslaw which includes the dressing can typically weigh between 7 and 7.5 pounds.
I would use 5 pounds
1 medium head of cabbage, weighing about 2 pounds, makes about 8 cups shredded. Depending on the ingredients you add and how much of each, to make cole slaw, you will have 9 to 10 cups of cole slaw.
6 Pounds of coleslaw can feed around 45 - 50 people
Approximately 9 lbs. Thanks, Cathy
This is impossible to answer since it depends on what other vegetables you add to the slaw and what type of and how much dressing - both of which will effect the final amount of slaw. Plus cabbage heads come in a wide variety of sizes / weights.
You should always figure 1/2-cup of prepared coleslaw per person. You would need 50 cups to feed 100 people. This would require approximately 12 pounds of cabbage, or 12 - 13 bags of pre-shredded cabbage.
