OLD FASHIONED COLE SLAW



Old Fashioned Cole Slaw image

Just in case you were wondering, Cole Slaw came to America with the Dutch who called it Kool Sla. This was a shortened version of the literal translation of cabbage salad. Originally, thinly sliced cabbage (green and/or red) was dressed with oil vinegar and spices and probably served warm or hot. Mayonnaise was invented in the 18th century and added to the dressing. In the early 1900s cole slaw or cold slaw was prepared with buttermilk as is this version. From "Family Circle" magazine.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cabbage. Green cabbage is the most common type used in coleslaw, but you can also use red cabbage or a combination of both. If you're using green cabbage, be sure to choose a head that is firm and heavy.
  • Shred the cabbage finely. This will help the coleslaw to be more tender and easier to eat. You can use a food processor fitted with a shredding blade or a sharp knife to shred the cabbage.
  • Use a creamy dressing. Coleslaw dressing is typically made with mayonnaise, sour cream, or yogurt. You can also add other ingredients to the dressing, such as vinegar, mustard, sugar, and celery seeds.
  • Add some crunch. Coleslaw is often served with a crunchy topping, such as croutons, chopped nuts, or shredded carrots. This adds texture and flavor to the dish.
  • Chill the coleslaw before serving. This will help the flavors to meld and make the coleslaw more refreshing.

Conclusion:

Coleslaw is a versatile dish that can be served as a side dish, a topping, or even a main course. It's a great way to use up leftover cabbage, and it's also a healthy and delicious dish. With so many different variations, there's sure to be a coleslaw recipe that everyone will enjoy.
