SUMMER SLAW RECIPE
Summer Slaw is a deli-style cole slaw recipe loaded with fresh summer ingredients of cabbage, tomatoes, cucumbers, and green onions in a creamy cole slaw dressing that is lighter than most slaw recipes. This slaw recipe was created after I tried my local deli's summer slaw salad, it's light and refreshing with a semi-sweet creamy dressing perfect for summer!

SUMMERTIME SLAW
As a change from mayonnaise-laden slaw, I created this refreshing alternative. It uses many of the garden vegetables I grow, so it's also economical. I serve it at our family reunion each Fourth of July, and it's always a big hit at get-togethers. -Sharon Payne, Mayfield, Kentucky

Steps:
- Combine buttermilk, mayonnaise, and lemon juice in a small bowl; season with salt and pepper and whisk to combine. Set buttermilk dressing aside.
- Using a vegetable peeler, peel broccoli stalk if skin is thick. Halve broccoli lengthwise, then thinly slice crosswise, starting at crown. Toss broccoli, cabbage, scallions, sugar snap peas, 2 tablespoons chives, and reserved buttermilk dressing in a large bowl; season with salt and pepper. Serve slaw topped with remaining 2 tablespoons chives.
- DO AHEAD: Slaw can be made 6 hours ahead. Cover and chill.
Tips:
- Choose the right cabbage. Green cabbage is the most common type used in coleslaw, but you can also use red cabbage or a mix of both. If you're using green cabbage, choose a head that is firm and heavy. If you're using red cabbage, choose a head that is deep in color.
- Shred the cabbage thinly. This will help the coleslaw absorb the dressing better. You can use a food processor or a sharp knife to shred the cabbage.
- Use a variety of vegetables. In addition to cabbage, you can also add other vegetables to your coleslaw, such as carrots, celery, onion, and bell pepper. This will add color, flavor, and texture to the slaw.
- Make your own dressing. The dressing is what really makes the coleslaw, so it's important to make your own. You can use a variety of ingredients to make a dressing, such as mayonnaise, sour cream, vinegar, sugar, and salt. You can also add herbs and spices to the dressing for extra flavor.
- Chill the coleslaw before serving. This will help the flavors to meld and make the slaw more refreshing.
Conclusion:
Coleslaw is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed all summer long. You can make coleslaw with a variety of ingredients, so you can customize it to your own taste. Whether you like it creamy, tangy, or sweet, there's a coleslaw recipe out there for you.
