Red Cabbage Coleslaw with fresh Dill


The key to this coleslaw is to add more vinaigrette than mayonnaise (unless you like it the other way 'round.) The zingy vinegar & onion against the nutty cabbage & sweet carrot is nicely accented by fresh pepper and a touch of creamy mayonnaise.

  • 1/2 small Red Cabbage Finely chopped
  • 1 large carrot shredded (or add more to taste)
  • 2 green onions finely chopped
  • 3 tbsp balsamic vinaigrette (or more to taste)
  • 2 tbsp real mayonnaise
  • 1/2 tsp or more white balsamic vinegar (or dark balsamic or other vinegar)
  • Liberal amount of fresh ground pepper (to taste)
  • Handful Fresh dill-chopped

Mix everything.

Couldn't be easier. Chops well in a food-processor also. This is lovely the next day... the flavours marry nicely. You may find you need to add a little more dressing & vinegar to get the same flavour kick.

Other flavour options:

If you can get your hands on Kohlrabi, Fennel, or Celeriac try a little in here too. :0) Kohlrabi is amazingly yummy. It's not that hard to grow from seed either.

Dry mustard
Optional add fennel seed

Enjoy!
