Fresh and Simple Salad

Coleslaw

Coleslaw is a simple cabbage dish made with shredded cabbage, carrots, and homemade mayo dressing. It is great for picnics and as a side for meat.

Coleslaw
I used to believe for a very long time that coleslaw is an American salad. Still, in reality, it originates from the Netherlands, which is much closer to us here in Slovenia. In the Netherlands, the word "koolsla" means cabbage salad, which is exactly what coleslaw is. Numerous versions of coleslaw are available on the internet, but we suggest starting with this one. Everything is made from scratch, including the dressing. We prepare a quick "mayo" dressing and pour it over shredded fresh cabbage and carrots. If you can access white and red cabbage, we recommend using both, as the salad will look even more vibrant and delicious.

Essential ingredients

This is a good side dish for various veggie or meat dishes. We purchased all the ingredients in LIDL Slovenija (ad). Here, you can learn a bit more about ingredients.

The dressing is a homemade delight, crafted from simple ingredients like eggs, dijon mustard, and yogurt. Its light and fresh flavor beautifully melds all the ingredients together. 

Cabbage - use fresh white or red cabbage. It's best to use both to make the salad colorful and beautiful. Thinly cut the cabbage using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer.

Carrots - add freshness, color, and texture. 

Storing

Make the Coleslaw fresh from scratch, or make it ahead and store it in the fridge until needed.

Add the salad to an airtight container, seal tightly, and place it in the fridge. Keep refrigerated for up to 3 days, then serve cold as a side dish or add it to burgers and sandwiches.

METHOD

  • dressing

    First, make the salad dressing. In a blender (or using an immersion blender), mix the egg, oil, vinegar, garlic powder, dijon mustard, and Greek yogurt. Season with salt and pepper and blend into a smooth, luscious dressing.

  • coleslaw

    Shred the cabbage into very thin slices. The easiest way to do that is to use a mandoline slicer. Peel the carrots and shred them into thin, long slices using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer. Add to a bowl. Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss to combine. Add the chopped parsley and season with ground pepper. Toss to combine and serve or store in the fridge until needed.
