Coleslaw Recipe

I have always had a lot of misconceptions of coleslaw, or rather, I never had any like for coleslaw; I usually thought it wasn’t good to have, especially when bought from stores. However, homemade, served a couple of weeks ago at a friend’s party as finger food, has lots of positive features such as fresh crunchy texture and ‘alive’ colors. This really simple coleslaw recipe is great on the grills, picnic, and all sorts of parties during the hot summer.

The common coleslaw mostly contains large amount of mayonnaise but in my preparation, mayonnaise has been minimized and replaced by vinegar. If you are a big cabbage lover, these recipes for you: Quick Cabbage Slaw, Spiralized Apple Cabbage Slaw, and Asian Cabbage Mango Slaw. With these recipes, one could have a new take on meals prepared for the day.

Notes

Chill Time is Essential: Refrigerate the coleslaw for at least two hours before serving it but it is advisable to prepare it the day before the event. This time we let the cabbage and carrots to soak in the dressing which will deliver a much richer taste and complement to the dish.

Customize Ingredients: Hence, the customers should not be afraid of adding other vegetables such as shredded fennel or even trying out other types of vinegar. For example, instead of using white wine vinegar, it is possible to use apple cider vinegar which will give a different taste.

Occasional Stirring: After preparing the coleslaw mixture, allow it to cool to avoid sogginess, and mix it a few times. This makes the flavors spread evenly on the food, again, making sure that the whole dish has the same taste.
