SWEET, HOT MUSTARD SLAW
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.

MEATBALLS IN A SWEET 'N SPICY ASIAN SAUCE WITH WARM ASIAN SLAW
This is a great way to take a classic meatball and make it a little modern with an Asian sauce instead.....trust me......everyone will love them! I made yet, another batch of my quick and delicious Nana's Meatballs. I love making a recipe that I can use in different ways. I used half of the meatballs to have with a traditional red sauce over pasta and the other half with the Asian Sauce. I had two totally different dishes. I like serving the Spicy Asian Meatballs as an appetizer on top of a bed of this delicious Warm Asian Slaw. The next time you want to make meatballs, surprise your family and friends with a little something different. Enjoy!

SWEET PEPPER SLAW
A tasty cabbage, onion, and red, yellow and green pepper slaw from a magazine clipping. Make-ahead; cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Keeps well in the refrigerator. Great for picnics and pot lucks. Use a mandolin to thinly slice vegetables or use the fine slice blade of a food processor. I usually add a couple teaspoons of sugar to the dressing mixture but that is just personal preference.

SWEET AND SOUR COLE SLAW
Ever since she was a child, Maribeth couldn't stand the sight of mayonaisse, and mommy went to great lengths to hide it in recipes where it was required - but there was simply no hiding it in cole slaw. So she turned to a local cookbook at the time - the old River Road Recipes II - A second Helping - put out by the Junior League of Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Here is a GREAT tasting, non-creamy cole slaw - particuarily good with barbequed chicken. Notice that this recipe is made the night before - and also, as it contains no eggs or dairy, it would be perfectly safe for travel on picnics. This recipe is credited to Mrs. Ben Miller, Jr.

- Remove the patties to a platter, cover them loosely with foil to keep warm, and set them aside to rest for about 5 minutes.
- To assemble the burgers, lay a few pickle slices and one tomato slice on the bottom of each bun and place the burgers on top.

Tips:
- Choose the right cabbage: Green cabbage is the most commonly used cabbage for coleslaw, but you can also use red cabbage or a combination of both. Red cabbage will give your slaw a beautiful purple hue.
- Shred the cabbage thinly: This will help the slaw to absorb the dressing better and make it easier to eat.
- Use a variety of vegetables: In addition to cabbage, you can also add other vegetables to your slaw, such as carrots, celery, onions, bell peppers, and cucumbers.
- Make your own dressing: Store-bought dressings can be high in sugar and unhealthy fats. It's easy to make your own dressing with just a few simple ingredients, such as mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, and salt.
- Let the slaw chill: After you've made the slaw, let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help the flavors to meld and make the slaw even more delicious.
Conclusion:
Coleslaw is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. It's also a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables. With so many different recipes to choose from, you're sure to find a coleslaw that you'll love. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful side dish, give coleslaw a try.
