OVERNIGHT VEGGIE SLAW WITH SWEET-TART VINAIGRETTE



Overnight Veggie Slaw With Sweet-Tart Vinaigrette image

This crunchy slaw doesn't use cabbage. Instead, it's loaded with veggies that marinate in a sweet-tart vinaigrette. We like to let it marinade overnight and then serve it the next day for maximum flavor. It's a nice accompaniment to a casserole-type main dish, or to serve with a sandwich for lunch.

Time 15m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (14 ounce) can French style green beans, drained
2 (14 ounce) cans white corn, drained
1 red pepper, diced
1 green pepper, diced
4 stalks celery, diced (1 1/2 C.)
3/4 cup cider vinegar
1/2 cup canola oil
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Make vinaigrette: in small saucepan on stove, combine vinegar, oil and sugar. Bring to boil and simmer 3 minutes. Immediately pour hot vinaigrette over raw vegetables (the hot dressing blanches the raw vegetables and keeps them colorful and crunchy).
  • Drain all canned vegetables; add to slaw.
  • Add salt and pepper. Store in refrigerator overnight to allow flavors to develop (although we eat some right away).
  • If desired, slice a fresh avocado and place on top.

Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife or mandoline to thinly slice the cabbage and carrots. This will help the slaw to absorb the dressing better.
  • If you don't have a mandoline, you can use a food processor fitted with the slicing blade. Just be careful not to over-process the vegetables, or they will become mushy.
  • Add some chopped red onion or celery to the slaw for extra flavor and crunch.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of dressing to your liking. If you want a lighter slaw, use less dressing. If you want a more flavorful slaw, use more dressing.
  • Serve the slaw immediately, or refrigerate it for later. If you are refrigerating the slaw, let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

Sweet and sour slaw is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be served with a variety of meals. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy side dish, give sweet and sour slaw a try.
