I would use 5 pounds
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.
I would make 100 pounds of it
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.
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 need about 8 pounds
First we need to know how many of 100 people will eat it. Let's assume each person eats 1/2 cups. You'd make 50 cups = ~3 gallons. So around 3 gallons, in my opinion, would be enough. There will be people who eat none leaving extra for people who eat a lot. If you know the people coming aren't big fans, 1-2 gallons should be plenty.
Well, how about it, do I get extra coleslaw or do you need a conference with the manager?
To serve coleslaw for 60 people, you'll typically need about 1 to 1.5 ounces per person as a side dish. This translates to approximately 4 to 6 quarts of coleslaw, which is about 1 to 1.5 gallons. Adjust the quantity based on whether coleslaw is the main side dish or one of several offerings at the meal.
Cucumber, Cabbage and either Tomato or Cabbage makes up the Salad and you don't need to use any kitchen appliances in order for you to make it . Hope this helps. :)
For 200 people, you would typically need about 25 to 30 pounds of coleslaw, assuming it’s served as a side dish. This generally translates to around 5 to 6 large bags of pre-packaged coleslaw, as each bag usually contains about 4 to 5 pounds. Adjustments may be needed depending on other dishes being served and the appetite of your guests.
