Coleslaw salad

Recipe for Coleslaw salad appeared for the first time in 1770 Dutch cookbook which contains a recipe attributed to the author's Dutch landlady, who mixed thin strips of cabbage with melted butter, vinegar, and oil.

Coleslaw from the Dutch term koolsla meaning 'cabbage salad', also known as cole slaw, or simply as slaw.

You won’t believe how easy coleslaw is to make at home. We love using a combination of red and green cabbage which makes this dish really colorful. However, you can use any cabbage you’ve got at home.

There are many variations of Coleslaw salad, but we like the classic simple version with very simple creamy dressing with a hint of sweetness.

We would recommend to prepare coleslaw salad in advance (or at least couple of hours before serving, ideally overnight). The flavour of the salad will be even tastier after few hours in the fridge.

Coleslaw salad is perfect side dish for bbq or home-made burgers. Try our pulled pork burger with home made coleslaw. It’s a just a perfect combination.
