EASY COLESLAW WITH A KICK!

Easy Coleslaw With a Kick! image

This is a recipe that gives regular old coleslaw a spicy kick. Very easy to make with great results! If you have never had wasabi, please, start out with a teaspoon and work your way up from there. Wasabi is Japanese horseradish and it is powerful stuff! But it sure does goes well with the rest of the ingredients.

Time 2h10m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 (16 ounce) bag coleslaw mix
2/3 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
8 ounces crushed pineapple, drained (reserve the juice, it's an ingredient!)
3 tablespoons pineapple juice
1 -2 tablespoon wasabi (again, if this is new to you, please work your way up)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

Mix everything but the coleslaw together.
Pay special attention to be sure the wasabi is well blended. A trick I learned that works very well, is to put all the ingredients but the coleslaw mix into a big ziploc bag, then squish, shake, and massage the ingredients into a nice smooth blend.
Then add the coleslaw mix and the ingredients together in a large bowl and mix well.
Cover and put it in the fridge for a couple hours to overnight to allow all the flavors to blend inches It will be soupy on the bottom, but the salad will be crisp.

MOM'S COLESLAW

Provided by Irene Clark

Categories Salad Leafy Green Side No-Cook Picnic Quick & Easy Yogurt Mayonnaise Vinegar Spring Vegetarian Pescatarian Wheat/Gluten-Free Peanut Free Tree Nut Free Soy Free Kosher

Yield Makes 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

6 cups medium-size red cabbage (organic, if possible), coarsely sliced
3 tablespoons white vinegar
Kosher salt
Use one of the following:
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon celery seeds
1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
1 tablespoon Jane's Krazy Mixed-Up Salt
3 tablespoons wine vinegar
2 tablespoons shaved carrot
4 tablespoons organic nonfat yogurt
3 tablespoons Hellmann's mayonnaise
2 tablespoons dill weed (organic, if possible), roughly chopped
Note: If you use a flavored salt or Old Bay seasoning, eliminate the kosher salt.
If you use wine vinegar, eliminate the white vinegar.
If you use carrot, eliminate the dill.

Steps:

Toss cabbage with 3 tablespoons white vinegar and a few generous pinches of kosher salt. Let stand a few minutes to allow the cabbage to begin to change chemically as it absorbs the ingredients. Add one of the special seasonings in the list. Toss again with 4 tablespoons yogurt. When the cabbage is fully coated, toss with 3 tablespoons mayonnaise. Stir in 2 tablespoons dill weed and serve.

Tips:

Use a sharp knife or mandoline to thinly slice the cabbage and carrots for a more uniform texture and better flavor distribution.
If you don't have a mandoline, use a food processor fitted with the slicing blade to quickly and easily slice the vegetables.
For a creamier coleslaw, use mayonnaise instead of vinegar-based dressing.
Add some grated cheese, such as cheddar or Parmesan, for a cheesy twist on the classic coleslaw recipe.
For a healthier coleslaw, use Greek yogurt or low-fat mayonnaise instead of regular mayonnaise.
Add some chopped nuts, such as walnuts or pecans, for a crunchy texture and extra flavor.
Garnish the coleslaw with fresh herbs, such as parsley or cilantro, for a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

Coleslaw is a versatile and delicious side dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can easily make a delicious coleslaw that will be the perfect addition to your next meal. Whether you like it classic, creamy, or with a kick, there's a coleslaw recipe out there for everyone. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy side dish, give coleslaw a try!
