Coleslaw
Coleslaw is a fresh, crunchy salad made with cabbage, carrots, and celery. It’s the perfect side dish for roasted meats, grilled food, or even a simple sandwich. Easy, creamy, and always a hit!
Ingredients:
- 1 ⅓ lbs (about 6 cups) white cabbage
- ¼ small celery root (celeriac), peeled and grated
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1 large carrot, finely chopped or grated
- ¾ cup mayonnaise (or use plain yogurt for a lighter version)
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1 tbsp vinegar
- 2–3 tbsp sugar
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
Recipe steps:
- Peel the celery root and grate it coarsely (or finely if you prefer a milder taste). Add the chopped onion, finely chopped carrot, and cabbage.
- Slice the cabbage into thin strips and put it into a large bowl. Sprinkle with 1 tbsp of salt and let it rest for 30 minutes. Then knead the cabbage well with your hands and drain off the excess liquid.
- In another bowl, mix the mayonnaise (or a lighter version with plain yogurt), sugar, vinegar, and heavy cream. Add pepper to taste and stir well.
- Add the dressing to the prepared vegetables, mix thoroughly, and let the salad rest ideally overnight. If you don’t have time, you can serve it immediately.
Tip:
This salad is ideal as a side dish to roasted meat or grilled dishes.
