The first time I made this main dish, my son's friends cleaned out the salad bowl-I didn't get even a taste! The next time I made it, I knew why it had disappeared so fast: The crunchy cabbage, tender tidbits of ham, subtle sweetness of honey and zesty hint of mustard make a perfect combination of tastes and textures.

To make the most flavorful and crisp coleslaw, choose fresh, crisp cabbage and carrots.
Use a sharp knife or mandoline to thinly slice the cabbage and carrots. This will help them absorb the dressing better.
Toss the cabbage and carrots with a little bit of salt and allow them to sit for 10 minutes. This will help draw out some of the moisture and make the salad more crisp.
Don't overdress the coleslaw. You want the dressing to coat the cabbage and carrots, but not drown them.
For a creamy coleslaw, use mayonnaise-based dressing. For a lighter coleslaw, use a vinaigrette-based dressing.
Add some shredded cheese, diced ham, or bacon to the coleslaw for a more filling side dish.
Serve the coleslaw chilled for the best flavor and texture.
