Hey there, friends! Today, I’m excited to share one of my all-time favorite side dishes – the famous Bonefish grill coleslaw recipe. I remember the first time my family and I visited Bonefish grill restaurant. We ordered their iconic Bang Bang Shrimp, but my real surprise was their coleslaw. Its unique flavor profile captivated me immediately, and I knew I had to recreate it at home.
After several kitchen experiments, I finally nailed it. So, let’s get started!
Bonefish Grill Coleslaw Recipe Guide
Here’s what you’ll need to whip up this delightful coleslaw at home:
- 6 large scallions, thinly sliced
- 2 bags of coleslaw mix (16 ounces each)
- 1 small red onion, finely chopped
- 250 ml vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
- 40 g white vinegar
- 10 g dark brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Asian sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Step-by-Step Instructions
- First, I thinly slice the scallions and finely chop the red onion. These need to be as fine as possible to blend perfectly with the coleslaw mix. If you’re using a pre-shredded coleslaw mix, give it a quick check to make sure there aren’t any large chunks.
- In a large mixing bowl, I combine the vegetable oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, grated fresh ginger, white vinegar, dark brown sugar, and Asian sesame oil.
- Then, I whisk it all together until the sugar is completely dissolved and the dressing is smooth. I toast the sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat until they’re golden and fragrant, then add them to the dressing.
- In a large bowl, I combine the coleslaw mix, scallions, and red onion. I pour the dressing over the top and toss everything thoroughly to ensure every piece is well-coated. I like to use tongs or my hands for this step – it helps to get an even distribution of the dressing.

- I transfer the coleslaw to a serving dish and cover it with plastic wrap. Let it chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving. This resting time allows the flavors to meld beautifully, making the coleslaw even more delicious.

Bonefish Grill Coleslaw Recipe: Tips and Tricks
Coleslaw can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-5 days. It’s best to keep it in an airtight container to maintain its freshness.
If you want to add more flavor, try adding a bit of mustard or extra lemon juice. This will give your coleslaw a nice tangy kick.
To keep your coleslaw crunchy, it’s best to prepare it just before serving. If you need to make it ahead, store the veggies and dressing separately and combine them right before serving.

Bonefish Grill Coleslaw Recipe Variations

- Sweet Version. For those with a sweet tooth, try adding chopped apples or raisins. They pair wonderfully with the other ingredients.

My name is Ania, and I am very glad to see you here. I have always loved cooking; even some of my earliest memories are flipping through a cookbook and making pudding standing on a stool because I was too small to reach the stove.
You should know that I am not a professionally trained chef, just a big food lover who grew up in a family obsessed with cooking and focused on what we eat.
