SLAW DRESSING (TANGY)

This is not a mayo type dressing...it's a vinegar, mustard tangy dressing with just a bit of sweetness. You can always add more sugar if you like it sweeter :D. I used this on packaged dry coleslaw mix (about 3-4 cups) from the grocers but it is delicious over Trader Joe's Healthy 8 Chopped Veggie Mix. Hope you enjoy it. My husband thought this would be delicious on fish tacos also!

Time 1h15m

Yield 3 Cups, 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup oil (Canola)
1/8 cup vinegar (rice wine)
1/8 cup red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons Tabasco sauce (I use the jalapeno flavor)
1/2 teaspoon garlic (minced from a jar is great)
1/2 teaspoon mustard (Stone Ground, full strength)
1/2 teaspoon mustard (Yellow)
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Mix all ingredients except oil. I just add a small amout of salt and pepper at this point, you can always add more later if you feel it needs it. Gradually whisk the oil in with the others until it appears to be completely incorporated (no oil sitting on the top of the dressing mix).
  • Put your dry coleslaw mix (your favorite) in a bowl large enough to mix with the dressing. I like to use a bowl that has a sealable lid for marinating. Add dressing a little at a time and toss with the dry coleslaw mix until completely used.
  • Let marinate in the refrigerator at least an hour or overnight. Enjoy. (Cookiing time is the marinating time.).

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 cups Pre-sliced green cabbage (1 1/2#)
1 cup Thinly vertically sliced green onion
1/2 cup Grated carrot
1/2 cup Chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons Canola oil
2 tablespoons Brown mustard seeds
1 tablespoon Cumin seeds
1 Large garlic clove, minced
1/2 Jalapeno pepper, finely chopped
1/4 cup White wine vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons Sugar
3/4 teaspoon Salt
3/4 teaspoon Freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Combine the first 4 ingredients in a large bowl.
  • Heat a small saucepan over medium heat. Add oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add mustard and cumin seeds; cook 90 seconds or until mustard seeds begin to pop. Remove from heat. Stir in garlic and jalapeno; let stand 2 minutes. Add vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper, stirring with a whisk. Pour vinegar mixture over cabbage mixture; toss to coat. Let stand 15 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cabbage. Green cabbage is the most common type of cabbage used in slaw, but you can also use red cabbage or a mix of both. If you're using green cabbage, be sure to shred it finely so that it's tender and easy to eat.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. In addition to cabbage, you can add other vegetables to your slaw, such as carrots, celery, onions, and peppers. This will add flavor, texture, and color to your dish.
  • Make your own dressing. The dressing is what really makes a slaw special. You can find many different recipes for slaw dressing online, or you can create your own. Be sure to use a vinegar-based dressing, as this will help to keep the slaw fresh and crisp.
  • Let the slaw marinate. After you've made your slaw, let it marinate for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Serve slaw chilled. Slaw is best served chilled. This will help to keep it crisp and refreshing.

Conclusion:

Slaw is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a side dish or a main course. It's perfect for potlucks, picnics, and barbecues. With so many different variations to choose from, there's sure to be a slaw recipe that everyone will enjoy.
