BUTTERMILK GREEN GODDESS SLAW

Buttermilk Green Goddess Slaw image

This herby coleslaw variation was adapted from "The Animal Farm Buttermilk Cookbook" (Andrews McMeel Publishing, 2013) by Diane St. Clair. In it, a tangy buttermilk- and avocado-spiked green goddess dressing takes the place of the usual mayonnaise mix, for a slaw that's both lighter and fresher tasting. Like most coleslaws, it gets better as it sits so, if you have time, plan to make it a few hours ahead. Save any extra dressing to use as a dip for cut vegetables or for other salads. It will keep for up to two days in the fridge.

Coleslaw-No Mayo image

Perfect blend of tangy and sweet, and with no mayonnaise so it is safe for picnics and cookouts! Love this type of coleslaw on top of barbecue pork sandwiches. So colorful that it will compliment anything on your plate. If you don't like your coleslaw as sweet, please feel free to reduce the amount of sugar. Prep and cooking time does not include chilling time.

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1/3 large green cabbage (shredded or chopped fine)
1 medium carrot (shredded or small matchstick cuts)
6 radishes (shredded or small matchstick cuts. If your radishes are large, reduce the number of radishes)
1/3 green bell pepper, small diced
1 1/2 green onions, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon ketchup
1/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup cider vinegar
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/3 teaspoon ground mustard
1/3 teaspoon celery seed

Steps:

Combine the cabbage, carrots, radishes, green bell pepper, and green onions in a large bowl.
Combine the ketchup, sugar, vinegar, oil, salt, mustard and celery seed in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly so sugar dissolves and all ingredients mix well.
Pour over the cabbage mixture and stir to coat.
Cover and chill in the refrigerator. It is best to wait at least 2 hours before eating so the flavors develop. More chilling time makes it even better.

Tips:

Use a sharp knife or mandoline to thinly slice the cabbage. This will help the coleslaw to be more tender and flavorful.
Add some sweetness to the coleslaw with shredded carrots, apples, or pineapple. You can also add some chopped nuts or seeds for a crunchy texture.
Use a light and tangy dressing for the coleslaw. A simple vinaigrette or a dressing made with Greek yogurt and lemon juice are both good options.
Let the coleslaw chill for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the coleslaw to become more flavorful.
Serve the coleslaw as a side dish with grilled meats or fish, or as a topping for tacos or sandwiches.

Conclusion:

Coleslaw is a versatile and delicious side dish that can be made with a variety of ingredients and dressings. Whether you like it creamy or vinegar-based, sweet or tangy, there's a coleslaw recipe out there for everyone. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy side dish, give one of these no-mayo coleslaw recipes a try.
