Cole Slaw
4 servings
15 minutes
Coleslaw is a classic American salad that has become an essential part of barbecues and picnics. Its history traces back to Dutch cuisine, from which it gets its name 'koolsla', meaning 'cabbage salad'. This refreshing and crunchy side dish combines tender green cabbage and juicy carrots soaked in a creamy dressing of mayonnaise, lemon juice, mustard, and sweet sugar. The flavor of coleslaw balances between tanginess, sweetness, and a hint of spiciness, while its texture delights with a pleasant crunch. It perfectly complements meat dishes, especially grilled and smoked ones.
