You could says it's the Dutch.

Like many traditional foods, there is no one inventor. Nor is there one way to make it -- you can have it creamy or with vinegar and oil. It basically developed over time.

According to FoodTimeline.org: Ancient Roman cooks prepared shredded cabbage dressed with vinegar, eggs and spices. The term cole slaw, cabbage salad, is Dutch (koolsla, which comes from the Latin caulis or cabbage). Mayonnaise -- for creamy coleslaw fans -- came along in the 18th century.
