Coleslaw with Beetroot Dressing

4 servings

20 minutes

Coleslaw with beet dressing is a bright and refreshing take on the classic American salad. Its roots lie in the traditions of Southern cuisine in the USA, where cabbage salads became an integral part of barbecues and picnics. In this version, beet juice gives the dressing a rich ruby hue and a sweet-earthy flavor that harmonizes with crunchy green and red cabbage. Lemon juice and Dijon mustard add zest, while the combination of mayonnaise and sour cream makes the sauce's texture smooth and creamy. This dish is perfect as a side for meat or fish, and can also serve as a light salad that refreshes any dinner. Its ease of preparation makes it an ideal choice for a quick yet elegant dish.
