It’s economical, filling, nutritious (hello, fiber), and can be quite healthy (depending on how much mayonnaise & sugar you add). The key to making great coleslaw is letting it marinate for at least 8 hrs. Also, slicing the cabbage thin is critical, so keep that knife razor-sharp or try your hand at (safely) using a mandoline. Two famous recipes worth checking out hail from 2nd Avenue Deli - one of the oldest & most famous kosher delis in the nation. Health Salad is a light appetizer, served at the table before you order. Coleslaw is typically served as a creamy side with sandwiches. This recipe was inspired by those two recipes & blends the best of both. It is lighter than a traditional coleslaw but richer than simply marinated. 🧂Ingredients: * 1 head of green or purple cabbage, sliced thin * 2 cups finely shredded carrot * 3 tbsp vinegar (e.g., white, champagne, apple cider) * 2 tbsp sugar * 3 tbsp mayonnaise (optional, add more to taste) * 1 teaspoon salt * 1 teaspoon pepper to taste (optional) ✔️Instructions: * Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage - they can be rubbery * Slice the cabbage in half and cut out the core * Slice the cabbage as thinly as possible * Shred carrot (with grater or food processor) * Mix the dressing in a large bowl * Add cabbage & carrots, toss * Let soak/marinate for 8+ hrs * Store for up to a week in a large jar or covered bowl 📓 Notes, Tips & Tricks: * Flavor preferences are personal. Adjust ingredients to your liking. * For some added glam, combine both purple & green cabbage. You can save the two remaining halves for the next week. ————-————-————- 🎧 Prefer to listen?
