207. Coleslaw

Or cold slaw, as Herself calls it.

One small white cabbage and four carrots will make you enough coleslaw for the entire post-Christmas period. I think you're supposed to wring the cabbage in muslin or something, to make it give up its water, but I like my coleslaw on the sloppy side, so I won't be doing that.

I do not add onion. I know, controversial. But Herself says that raw onion repeats on her and, frankly, I'd rather not live with a burpy onion-breather.

So you just grate your two main ingredients. Add mayo, some plain yogurt (if you want to be fancy) and some S and P. Mix. Leave to amalgamate and improve.

Serve with baked potatoes and leftover roast turkey/ham/beef/chicken. Slurp.

  1. well cold slaw is a family favourite of ours too. you would be shocked by my cavalier attitude. onion goes in (but soaked in vinegar first for the burpers) then NO MAYO for the weight watchers, and often sweetcorn for me, and apple. we must compare sometime!
