COLESLAW WITH PEANUTS AND RAISINS
Recipe from California Raisins website. . .by Chef Roy Harland. It states that you can substitute 1 lb of coleslaw mix for the green cabbage, red cabbage and carrots. They suggest serving this with BBQ. WOW this is good stuff!!! Note that I only used half of the dressing for 1 lb of coleslaw, so you may want to cut the recipe in half so as not to be wasteful!

COLESLAW WITH RAISINS
Scrumptious. Slightly sweet. A bit different from traditional coleslaw. I like the "angel hair" coleslaw cabbage, but the mixture with carrots and red cabbage is great too. Try it with dried cranberries instead of raisins. Inspired from a recipe received from a friend.

Tips:
- To make the perfect coleslaw, start with a good quality cabbage. Choose a head of cabbage that is firm and has a tight, compact head. Avoid any heads of cabbage that have brown spots or wilted leaves.
- Use a sharp knife or a mandoline to thinly slice the cabbage. This will help the coleslaw dressing to evenly coat the cabbage and will also make it easier to eat.
- If you don't have a mandoline, you can use a food processor to shred the cabbage. Just be careful not to over-shred the cabbage, as this will make it too mushy.
- Add some other vegetables to your coleslaw for extra flavor and crunch. Some good options include carrots, celery, red onion, and bell pepper.
- Be sure to drain the coleslaw well before adding the dressing. This will help to prevent the coleslaw from getting watery.
- Use a creamy dressing for your coleslaw. This will help to bind the ingredients together and will also make the coleslaw more flavorful.
- Add some nuts and raisins to your coleslaw for a sweet and crunchy twist. Peanuts and raisins are classic additions, but you can also try other nuts and dried fruits, such as walnuts, almonds, cranberries, or cherries.
- Serve your coleslaw chilled. This will help to keep it crisp and refreshing.
Conclusion:
Coleslaw is a classic side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make, delicious, and can be customized to your liking. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy side dish, give coleslaw a try. You won't be disappointed!
