Coleslaw is probably known from the USA or from the popular fast food restaurant that offers dozens of different types of fried chicken. In this post I will show you how you can easily prepare Coleslaw yourself. I prefer to use pointed cabbage for this, as it is a little milder.
Coleslaw is characterized by its crisp freshness, which is combined with a creamy dressing made from mayonnaise. It is well known that American food cannot be described as low in calories and healthy. Nevertheless, this salad is a classic for barbecue and simply tastes good!
There are probably dozen of recipes and variations for Coleslaw. Some make it with onions, cream and or mayonnaise, others completely different. I have also developed my own variant for this coleslaw and prefer to use pointed cabbage instead of white cabbage. This is simply a little milder, more digestible and fresher. I also don’t use onions or cream. Instead, I combine the herb with carrots, lemon juice, vinegar, mayonnaise, mustard, and sugar. A delicious marinade is then created from the juice of the herb, which soaks in the Coleslaw and gives it its juiciness.
My Coleslaw is perfect as a side dish to burgers and barbecues. If you’re looking for more salads, check out mine Recipe collection for salads around.
