Honey, the quickest, easiest way to make cole slaw is get the cole slaw mix from the produce dept of your grocery store and add bottled cole slaw dressing. If you want to dress it up a little, you can shred some Delicious apple into the mix.

Just make it without the onion.
BUT the greatest coleslaw recipe is found on topsecretrecipes.com they have the KFC recipe, man, if is fantastic!!! It calls for onions but as I said simply leave the onion out. That's an easy call.

Well, if you want an out of the ordinary cole slaw, try this recipe that I saw on the food network:
Cole Slaw:
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons buttermilk
4 teaspoons celery seeds
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon cayenne
3 cups shredded green cabbage (about 1/2 head cabbage)
3 cups shredded red cabbage (about 1/2 head cabbage)
1 green bell pepper, finely diced
1 large carrot, peeled and shredded
1/2 cup grated yellow onion
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, mustard, sugar, vinegar, buttermilk, celery seeds, salt, pepper, and cayenne, and whisk well to dissolve the sugar.
In a large bowl, combine the remaining ingredients. Toss with the dressing until evenly coated. Adjust seasoning, to taste. Place in the refrigerator, covered, to chill slightly before serving.
Yield: 8 servings
ENJOY!

coleslaw
A bowl of Coleslaw (or cole slaw) is a salad consisting primarily and minimally of shredded, raw, white cabbage, although it often also includes shredded carrots.
There are many variations of the recipe which include the addition of other ingredients, such as red cabbage, pineapple, or apple.
It is usually mixed with a dressing which traditionally consists of or is based on vegetable oil and vinegar or a vinaigrette.
Most modern coleslaw contains mayonnaise or its substitutes, although many regional variations exist, and recipes incorporating prepared mustard.
A variety of seasonings may be added. The dressing is allowed to settle on the blended ingredients usually for several hours before being served.
The cabbage may come in finely-minced pieces, shredded strips, or small squares.
Coleslaw is generally used as a side dish eaten with foods such as barbecue, fish and chips, and other fried foods, notably fried catfish in the southern U.S.
Also in this region, it is common as a sandwich ingredient, often placed on barbecue sandwiches, and on hamburgers and hot dogs along with chili and hot mustard.
It is sometimes used as an ingredient in the Reuben sandwich. A variant with vinegar and oil is almost always served with pizza in Sweden.

you certainly dont need onion in coleslaw. Principally cabbage and carrot for the crunch mayonnaise and lemon or vinegar for the acidity, hundreds of recipes on the web for it.
if you like spicy but not the onions you could use a little horseradish or wasabi

I've never heard of coleslaw that included onion. If your recipe calls for it, just leave it out.

I must admit I don't like onion in coleslaw so I use a stick of celery cut lengthways about the same as the white cabage.
this gives it a nice crunch and flavor.

Hi, here's my favorite: I use this dressing for nearly everything, sandwiches, pasta salads, coleslaw, dips - well, you get the idea.
1 cup Vegenaise (look for it in the cold case of your favorite health food store or food co op. It is vegan and very similar to mayonaise - I think it's better. It is not at Whole Foods or Trader Joe's.)
1/4 cup (or more if you want) Grey Poupon Country Dijon Mustard
2 cloves, fresh pressed garlic
mix, store in frige
If it is a little too 'mayo' tasting add more mustard, you can even put in a couple teaspoons of lemon juice to make it more tart, if you prefer.
Chop your cabbage, shred some carrots, add your dressing - then try to stay out of it until time to eat. It's always fun to get 'adventurous' with simple recipes. For fun, add something bright like chopped red bell pepper, green peas, some chopped celery. No hard and fast rules to follow.

Use any recipe you like just leave out the onion and add a little onion powder (1/2 tsp) for flavoring.

Go with the normal stuff- shredded carrot and white/red cabbage. could add some chopped boiled potatoes but then that works perfectly on its own as a potato salad. Add to that salad cream or mayo with added flavours. I would go for chives if using mayo but then you say you don't like onions and chives come from the same family.
Good luck anyway.
