Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

18 large garlic cloves, unpeeled
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons ground cumin
8 small red-skinned new potatoes, cut into wedges
1 bunch green onions, chopped
2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
2 cups sliced green cabbage
2 cups sliced purple cabbage
2 carrots, peeled, cut into matchstick-size strips
2 1 1/2-pound live lobsters

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Toss garlic with oil in small baking dish. Cover; bake until tender, about 1 hour. Cool. Remove garlic from skin and mash in bowl. Mix in mayonnaise, lemon juice, and cumin. Set aside.
  • Steam potatoes until tender, about 13 minutes. Transfer to large bowl; cool. Add 1/2 cup onions, eggs, and 1/2 cup dressing; toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Toss all cabbage, carrots, remaining chopped onions and remaining dressing in large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. (Potato salad and coleslaw can be made 6 hours ahead; cover and refrigerate separately.)
  • Drop lobsters headfirst into large pot of boiling water. Cover; cook until shells are bright red and centers are opaque, about 9 minutes. Using tongs, transfer lobsters, shell side down, to work surface. Place tip of large knife into center of each lobster and cut lengthwise in half from center to end of head (knife may not cut through shell); then cut in half from center to end of tail. Use poultry shears to cut through shell if necessary. Serve lobster halves with potato salad and coleslaw.

Time 30m

Yield 8 , 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb bite-size red potatoes, whole
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons white vinegar
2 teaspoons sugar
2 cups coleslaw mix
pepper
salt
1 tablespoon cumin seed, toasted
mint, chopped for garnish

Steps:

  • Steam the potatoes for 15 minutes or until tender. Place in the fridge to cool completely.
  • Mix together the mayo, vinegar, and sugar. Add the coleslaw mix and combine well.
  • Add pepper and cumin seeds and mix. Making sure the potatoes are cold, add them to the coleslaw and do a taste test for salt.
  • Garnish with chopped mint if desired.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes like Red Potatoes or Yukon Gold Potatoes hold their shape better and won't become mushy in the salad.
  • Cook the potatoes correctly: Boil the potatoes in salted water until tender but still firm, then drain and cool completely before adding to the salad.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time: This allows the flavors to meld and develop, resulting in a more flavorful salad.
  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients make all the difference in the taste of your salad.
  • Don't overcrowd the salad: Make sure you have a large enough bowl to accommodate all of the ingredients without overcrowding. This will help prevent the salad from becoming mushy.
  • Serve the salad cold: Coleslaw potato salad is best served cold. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

Coleslaw potato salad is a versatile and delicious dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish, main course, or even as a snack.
