Recipes for Home Made Coleslaw?

You can now buy (from Tesco's anyway) Coleslaw dressing which I think is about 99p. I make my coleslaw using chopped chunky cabbage, carrot & onion and then mix with this dressing. The bottle makes about 4 or 5 lots of coleslaw.

Hi

When I do HM Coleslaw I use:

1/2 standard cabbage
4 large carrots
2 medium red onions
Grate a little beetroot in at the end
Smart Price Cheapie Mayo
Salt & Pepper
Chopped Chives

I just use my food processor and grate/chop up the cabbage, carrots, onions. I put them in a bowl covered till needed. When I want to make the coleslaw then i add the grated beetroot to the other veg, salt & pepper. Then add in the mayo-as much or little as you like. Always add a little as you can easily add more. To finish add some chopped chives and maybe some bacon bits :rolleyes:

This will keep in the fridge for about 3 days.

For a low fat version add low fat yohurt, a spash of lemon juice and seasoning to the veg.

you can add sultanas to it as well which can be lovely - not to everyones taste.

cheesy coleslaw I think was mentioned above

don't underestimate how much seasoning you can put in, it adds lots of taste!!

I like Mary berry's recipe which involves mixing the shredded cabbage with vinaigrette for a few hours before you add the carrot and onion and mayonnaise. i think the vinegar helps to soften the cabbage so it tastes better in the final mix
