For 40 pounds of cabbage, you typically need about 1 pound of coleslaw dressing for every 4 pounds of cabbage. This means you'll need approximately 10 pounds of dressing for 40 pounds of cabbage. Since each 16 oz jar is 1 pound, you would need about 10 jars of Marzetti's coleslaw dressing for that amount of cabbage.
Well, honey, a gallon of coleslaw typically weighs around 8 pounds. So if you're looking to feed a crowd, you better stock up on those cabbage and carrot shreds! Just make sure you've got enough dressing to go around, too.
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.
For serving coleslaw at a large gathering, a general guideline is to allocate about 3 to 4 ounces per person. For 300 people, this translates to approximately 56 to 75 pounds of coleslaw. Adjustments can be made based on whether coleslaw is a side dish or the main feature of the meal.
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.
