Recipes for Home Made Coleslaw?

I often add a little nutmeg (brings out flavour of cabbage) and a squirt or 2 of tabasco for a bit of bite. I either use a bit of yogurt with my mayo or jus mayo itself.
To stop it going sloppy add a little mayo at a time until you have the consistencey that you want and try to make coleslaw only an hour or 2 before you use it.

I sometimes add a skinned chopped orange to my HM coleslaw - think posh name for this is Florida coleslaw!!

1 Small red cabbage finely shredded
1 carrot grated
a little finely chopped red onion
half a grated raw beetroot
mayonnaise
splash of white wine vinegar

I mixed up the vinegar and some mayonnaise until it tasted a bit like salad cream then I added it to the rest of the mayonnaise, and added it to the veg.

I forgot to add the beetroot this time as I read on another thread to put that in last. But it was still lovely. (and pink!)

We make ours with white cabbage, carrots and onions, but also add grated celeriac, which gives it a really nice taste (I don't really like celeriac cooked, but its lovely raw).

Then dress with whatever takes your fancy - mayo, fromage frais, just a little oil and some white wine vinegar... Sometimes we add mustard or garlic or chilli - it really depends what we are going to be eating it with.

Yummy!:D

An easy-peasy and different coleslaw from an American friend of mine:

Shred cabbage
Add a tin of well drained crushed pineapple
Add mayonaise/salad cream as preferred.

Voila - very tasty and very refreshing too.

My recipe is very cheap and so tasty that when I visit friends they often ask me to take a bowl of my homemade coleslaw.
Finely slice about a quarter of a white cabbage
Grate 2 big carrots ( 3 or 4 little ones )
stir together in a bowl with a couple of big dollops of Tesco Value Mayonaise

I sometimes add cashews and chopped dried apricots to my coleslaw to make it more exciting!

I have been given the task of making coleslaw on Boxing Day for a buffet and 25 people will be there. Now I know that this isn't really a big deal but I just don't know what to use for the dressing part as I find that mayonnaise can be a bit dominating, I'd like to make it a bit lighter. Also, I've had a thought to add some chopped fresh cranberries ... would that be horrible? or great?

I'd love any suggestions so that I can relax about it!
