SWEET-AND-SOUR COLESLAW



Sweet-and-Sour Coleslaw image

Pack in antioxidants. The ultimate in simplicity and refreshing taste, this coleslaw is flecked with green, red and yellow vegetables, the colors signifying the presence of antioxidants (cabbage is thought to have anti-cancer activity). I like its crispy, sweet-and-sour taste, unlike that of a creamy coleslaw.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cabbage. Green cabbage is the most common type used for coleslaw, but you can also use red cabbage or a combination of both. Red cabbage will give your coleslaw a beautiful purple hue.
  • Shred the cabbage finely. This will help the dressing to evenly coat the cabbage and make it easier to eat.
  • Use a flavorful dressing. The dressing is what really makes or breaks a coleslaw. Be sure to use a dressing that is sweet, sour, and tangy.
  • Add some extras. You can add a variety of other ingredients to your coleslaw, such as carrots, celery, onion, or pineapple. Get creative and experiment with different flavors.
  • Chill the coleslaw before serving. This will help the flavors to meld and make the coleslaw more refreshing.

Conclusion:

Sweet and sour coleslaw is a classic side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect coleslaw that will be enjoyed by everyone.
