SWEET, HOT MUSTARD SLAW

Sweet, Hot Mustard Slaw image

I enjoy a wide variety of coleslaws, but this mustard slaw may be my fave. The combo of hot and sweet has a proven track record for pleasing palates. Salting and massaging your cabbage first (aka 'cassage') will help draw out water, which sweetens up the flavor, as well as produce a flexible, yet still crunchy texture, which I think is lacking in many other 'chop and mix' recipes. Garnished here with chives and chive blossoms.

PEASANT TURNIP SLAW WITH SWEET HOT MUSTARD DRESSING

Peasant Turnip Slaw With Sweet Hot Mustard Dressing image

I grow turnips for their delicious greens. But I get the roots as a by-product and need to find something to use them for. Not being too fond of cooked, mashed turnips, I'm playing with salad variations. This one is tangy and sweet with just a bit of bite from the sweet hot mustard. "Cooking" time is chilling time.

Note: Can substitute Splenda or preferred artificial sweetener to make this diabetic-friendly.

Tips:

Choose the right cabbage for your slaw. Green cabbage is the most common type of cabbage used in slaw, but you can also use red cabbage or a combination of both. Red cabbage will give your slaw a beautiful purple color.
Shred the cabbage thinly. This will help the slaw to absorb the dressing better.
Use a variety of vegetables in your slaw. Shredded carrots, celery, and onions are all common additions to coleslaw. You can also add other vegetables, such as broccoli, cauliflower, or bell peppers.
Make sure your dressing is well-balanced. A good coleslaw dressing should be sweet, tangy, and a little bit spicy. You can adjust the sweetness, tanginess, and spiciness of the dressing to your liking.
Let the slaw marinate for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together and develop.

Conclusion:

Coleslaw is a delicious and refreshing side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy side dish, give coleslaw a try.
