GARDEN COLESLAW

Categories     Salad

Number Of Ingredients 15

for the dressing:
1.25 c plus 2 T mayonnaise
3/4 c sugar
1 T red-wine vinegar
1 T white-wine vinegar
1/4 t celery seeds
1/4 t garlic salt
1 Large cabbage (~5lbs), shredded
1/4 c shredded carrot
1/2 c finely chopped green bell pepper
1/2 c finely chopped red bell pepper
3 T finely chopped onion
1/2 t finely chopped fresh dill
1/2 c finely chopped celery
1/2 T finely chopped fresh parsley leaves

Steps:

  • Make the dressing: Whisk together mayonnaise, sugar, vinegars, celery seeds, garlic salt, and salt and pepper to taste - whisk until the dressing is smooth. In a larger bowl, stir cabbage, carrot, bell peppers, tomato, onion, dill., celery, and parsley. Pour the dressing over the whole cabbage mixture. Toss it well and chill covered overnight.

Tips:

  • For a creamy coleslaw, use a mayonnaise-based dressing. For a tangy coleslaw, use a vinegar-based dressing.
  • Use a sharp knife or mandoline to thinly slice the cabbage. This will help the dressing to coat the cabbage evenly.
  • If you don't have a mandoline, you can use a food processor to shred the cabbage. Just be careful not to over-process it, or the cabbage will become too mushy.
  • Add other vegetables to your coleslaw, such as carrots, celery, and red onion. This will add color and crunch to the dish.
  • Use fresh herbs, such as parsley, dill, and chives, to flavor your coleslaw. This will give it a bright, summery flavor.
  • Season your coleslaw to taste with salt and pepper. You may also want to add a pinch of sugar to balance out the acidity of the vinegar.
  • Let your coleslaw chill for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.

Conclusion:

Coleslaw is a refreshing and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed at any time of year. It's perfect for picnics, potlucks, and backyard barbecues. With so many different variations to choose from, there's sure to be a coleslaw recipe that everyone will love.
