Classic Coleslaw Recipes

Steps:

• Coarsely grate the carrot and finely shred the cabbage (use a food processor with a grating/ slicing blade or do it by hand) and tip into a bowl. Season with salt, then add the sugar and vinegar and toss everything together. Leave for 20 mins for the vegetables to very lightly pickle.
• Stir through the mustard and mayonnaise and add any other bits you want to, then serve. Can be made a day ahead and chilled.

Steps:

• Combine the carrots and the green and purple cabbage in a large bowl.
• In a separate bowl, mix together the milk, mayonnaise, sugar, vinegar, black pepper, cayenne and salt. Add more milk if you like the dressing a little thinner. Pour over the cabbage mixture and toss to combine. Add the parsley and toss again.

Steps:

• Prepare the vegetables by slicing, shredding or grating very thin.
• Toss the vegetable ingredients to mix well.
• Prepare the dressing by whisking together the vinegar, mayonnaise, sugar, salt and pepper.
• Fold the dressing into the tossed vegetables and refrigerate, covered, for at least 2 hours.
• May be made ahead. Toss occasionally to keep the dressing distributed over the vegetables.

Steps:

• Whisk together mustard, vinegar, lemon juice, sugar, salt, mayonnaise, and sour cream in a small bowl. Refrigerate dressing, covered, until ready to use, or up to 2 days.
• Put cabbage, carrots, and onion (if desired) in a large bowl. Pour in dressing, and toss thoroughly. Refrigerate, covered, until slaw begins to soften, 1 to 2 hours. If not using immediately, refrigerate, covered, up to 2 days. Just before serving, toss coleslaw again.

Steps:

• In several large bowls, combine the cabbage and carrots. In another bowl, combine the remaining ingredients. Stir into the cabbage mixture. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Toss before serving.

Steps:

• Remove any bruised or damaged outer cabbage leaves. Halve through the stem, and remove the dense core with a sharp knife and discard. Put cut side down onto a chopping board, and slice as finely as you can into thin shreds. You can also do this on a mandoline (you might want to quarter before slicing) or in a food processor with the shredding attachment. Tip into a bowl.
• Grate the carrots on a box grater to coarsely shred, or cut into thin strips using a julienne peeled or the grater attachment on the food processor. Tip into the bowl. Finely slice the onion, and thin as you can, and add to the bowl with the other veg. Add the herbs if using. A mixture is nice if you have some to use up.
• In a jug, whisk the mustard, mayo, yogurt and vinegar. Season well, and taste for sharpness and creamy. Add more vinegar if you like.
• Tip the dressing into the veg bowl, and mix everything together well with a large spoon. Stir so all the veg gets coated lightly in the dressing. Sprinkle with a few pinches of paprika, and serve straight away. Can be covered and chilled for up to 3 days. Mix well before serving.
