CABBAGE SALAD



Cabbage Salad image

"This crisp, fresh-tasting slaw keeps in the fridge for several days," notes Deborah Moore-Dedenbach from Big Bay, Michigan. It's a bargain, too, at 13 cents a serving. "We live about an hour from the nearest major city, so shopping trips can be few and far between. I often buy cabbage rather than lettuce for salads, because it stores longer," Deborah says.

DAZZLING WINTER SLAW - RED CABBAGE, APPLE AND PECAN SALAD



Dazzling Winter Slaw - Red Cabbage, Apple and Pecan Salad image

A dazzling coleslaw salad for your winter festive table. Red cabbage is mixed with apples, carrots, pecans and onions which is then dressed with a tangy mustard and nut vinaigrette - fabulous! Plus, the colours as well as the taste, is amazing! This goes so well with cold cuts, pies, tarts, quiches, buffets as well as being a wonderful supper or light lunch accompaniment. I do all the shredding and grating in my food processor, it is so easy and cuts down on time. You can of course grate and shred by hand - it will just take a little longer! I sometimes add semi-dried cranberries and grated beetroot - these are listed as optional exras. The pie shown in the photograph, is my Recipe #268117, which I often serve with this winter slaw salad - they make a wonderful combination. (This recipe was posted to our personal preferences - with a light dressing and not a creamy or heavy dressing; if you like your salads with more dressing - please adjust the dressing quantities up!)

  • Shred the cabbage thinly. This will help the slaw absorb the dressing better and make it easier to eat.
  • Use a sharp knife or mandoline to shred the cabbage. This will give you clean, even shreds.
  • Add other vegetables to your slaw. Some popular additions include carrots, celery, red onion, and bell pepper. You can also add fruits like apples, grapes, or pineapple.
  • Use a light, tangy dressing. A simple vinaigrette or mayonnaise-based dressing is a good option. You can also use a commercial coleslaw dressing.
  • Season the slaw to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices until the slaw reaches your desired flavor.
  • Chill the slaw before serving. This will help the flavors to meld and make the slaw more refreshing.

Conclusion:

Coleslaw is a versatile side dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It's a great way to use up leftover cabbage, and it's also a healthy and refreshing option. With so many different variations to choose from, there's sure to be a coleslaw recipe that everyone will enjoy.
