More Coleslaw Mania!
Wow, am I into making low calorie coleslaws! With cabbage being so cheap and the variations on the theme being almost endless, coleslaws are becoming a staple of our summer table.
A few recent favorites:
Tarragon Lime Coleslaw:
red and green cabbage, shredded or finely chopped
lime juice
red wine vinegar
tarragon white wine vinegar
dried tarragon
garlic powder
Mix it all up, using more red wine vinegar than tarragon vinegar, and adding lime juice at the end. Stir well and allow to chill in the fridge as long as overnight if possible, stirring again before serving. Top with 1 teaspoon olive or flax oil per person.
Special Sauce Cheeslaw
This is the one where I take Walden Farms Thousand Island dressing, cabbage, a tablespoon cider vinegar, a tablespoon or more pickle relish, and an ounce or two of fat free shredded mozzarella, mix it up, and serve a weird coleslaw surprise.
Italian-esque Coleslaw
Cabbage
Red wine vinegar
Capers
Black olives, sliced
Fat free mozzarella (shredded -- we always use the shredded kind, it's all we can get)
Dried or fresh basil, fresh is best
Dash lemon juice
Dried oregano
Fresh parsley
MR has given up on the philosophical argument of "What is a coleslaw?" He just likes to eat them.
