COLORFUL COLESLAW VINAIGRETTE

Provided by Caryn Gale

Categories     Vegetable

Time 18m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 small cabbage
2 medium carrots
1 red pepper
1 yellow pepper
1 green pepper
1/4 purple cabbage
1 cup vinegar
1/2 cup sugar
3/4 cup oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon white pepper

Steps:

  • Shred all of the vegetables.
  • I use the slicer on my food processor and not the shredder because it makes everything so small and juicy.
  • I find the cabbage shreds nicely using the slicer and I usually cut my peppers into 2 or 4 wedges and stand them up.
  • I do use the large shredder for the carrots.
  • Place all vegetables in a large Tupperware bowl.
  • Don't worry that it looks like a lot, it will reduce by about half after it marinades for a couple of hours.
  • Place all the dressing ingredients in a saucepan on the stovetop and bring just to a boil.
  • Remove from heat and stir well.
  • Pour it over the vegetables.
  • Seal lid and shake.
  • Place in refrigerator and shake every once in a while.
  • I usually drain off some of the marinade before I serve it because it is so juicy.

Categories     Salad     Vegetable     Side     Marinate     Picnic     Vegetarian     Kid-Friendly     Quick & Easy     Low Cal     Summer     Healthy     Raw     Potluck

Yield 8 to 10 people

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (2-pound) red cabbage, quartered lengthwise
3 large carrots, grated
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 bunch scallions, thinly sliced including the greens
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
1/2 cup chopped dill
1-1 1/2 tablespoons caraway seeds
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
2 teaspoons pure maple syrup, or to taste
1 1/2 teaspoons fine sea salt
3 - 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, preferably unfiltered
freshly ground black pepper to taste
Equipment: a mandoline or other adjustable blade slicer

Steps:

  • Thinly slice the cabbage into a large bowl and add the carrot, the bell pepper, the scallion, and the herbs. Toss the mixture well. Toast the caraway seeds in a small skillet over medium heat, stirring, until fragrantly toasty and browned lightly in color, about 2 minutes. Coarsely crush the seeds with a mortar and pestle, or on a cutting board with the bottom of a heavy skillet. Add the seeds to the coleslaw with the vinegar, maple syrup, and salt and toss the mixture well, then let it sit until wilted, 15 to 30 minutes. Stir in the oil, and season the salad with salt and freshly ground pepper.

Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife or mandoline to thinly slice the cabbage and carrots for a more even and consistent texture.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can grate the cabbage and carrots by hand using a box grater.
  • Be sure to squeeze out any excess water from the cabbage and carrots before adding them to the dressing. This will help prevent the coleslaw from becoming watery.
  • Taste the dressing before adding it to the cabbage and carrots. Adjust the seasonings to your liking.
  • For a creamier coleslaw, add 1/4 cup of mayonnaise to the dressing.
  • For a tangier coleslaw, add 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar to the dressing.
  • For a sweeter coleslaw, add 1 tablespoon of honey or sugar to the dressing.
  • Serve the coleslaw immediately or chill it for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld.

Conclusion:

This colorful coleslaw is a refreshing and flavorful side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your liking by adjusting the seasonings and adding different mix-ins. With its vibrant colors and delicious flavor, this coleslaw is sure to be a hit at your next party or potluck.
