Yield Makes 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

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. This will help the coleslaw to have a crisp texture.
  • Soak the cabbage in cold water for 30 minutes before assembling the coleslaw. This will help to remove any bitterness from the cabbage.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your coleslaw. This will add color, texture, and flavor to the dish. Some good options include carrots, celery, red onion, and bell pepper.
  • Make sure to drain the vegetables thoroughly before adding them to the coleslaw. This will help to prevent the coleslaw from becoming watery.
  • Use a light and tangy dressing for your coleslaw. A simple vinaigrette or a mayonnaise-based dressing are both good options.
  • Season the coleslaw to taste with salt, pepper, and sugar. You can also add other spices or herbs, such as celery seed, dill, or caraway seeds.
  • Chill the coleslaw for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help the flavors to meld together and the coleslaw to become more crisp.

Conclusion:

Coleslaw is a versatile and delicious side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. It is a good source of vitamins and minerals, and it can also help to improve digestion. With so many different variations to choose from, there is sure to be a coleslaw recipe that everyone will enjoy.
