EASIEST, MOST DELICIOUS COLESLAW SALAD

Each time I make this salad, girl number one dives at it. She even attempted to make hers one day when I wasn’t making any. When I made this version which I am going to show you with the cabbage chopped more finely, baby girl loved it!. How sweet and nice to see a toddler eat salad happily. It is the perfect dream-come-true for a mother who ants to see her kids LOVE salad.
This is coleslaw at it’s finest. You only need 3 ingredients- red cabbage, white cabbage and carrots. You could even use just two ingredients: regular cabbage and carrots. The salad dressing that goes with it is creamy, sweet with a hint of tart. While we were grilling the other day, I made some and it was so enjoyable as usual. I thought I would share this delight with you.
Prep: 20 mins
Cook: 0 mins
Serves: 4
Ingredients
For the salad:
Half a small cabbage
Half a small red cabbage
2 medium carrots
For the dressing:
1 cup of mayonnaise
Half cup of milk
2 teaspoons vinegar
1 teaspoon mustard
1 heaped tablespoon sugar
Here is my cast of characters, right before my cabbages were halved.
Half one cabbage and shred using the shredding corner of a grater. In case a portion doesn’t shred as finely, keep it aside and use a knife to chop more finely later.
Repeat process with the other red/purple cabbage and place them in a bowl. The world should be talking about how cute a purple cabbage is!
Shred the carrots.
Put into the same bowl as the cabbage and mix everything together. Oh baby! Oh my! Good God! Gracious God! Oh heavens!
Now it’s time for the salad dressing! Let’s sing:
Dressing lifted salad
Dressing lifted salad
When nothing else would do
Dressing lifted salad!
Dump all the dressing ingredients into a bowl: mayo, milk, mustard, vinegar and sugar.
Beat everything together until smooth.
Now pour this over the vegetables and weep for joy.
Give that a good mix.
That’s how you make a very easy and delightful coleslaw, people.
How the coleslaw can serve you;
-Take this to a potluck dinner to be a star without the paparazzi.
-Serve it as a side to a barbecue.
-Make it for your next party.
-Just make some and enjoy yourself at home. Ha.
NOTES
If you have a food processor, you could just put chunks of cabbage in it and chop together with the cream. This is super easy.
Enjoy your creamy coleslaw!
Oh the colours !! I'm binging on your food posts ! Awesome shares.
Binging is allowed, Tamie!
Thanks sis. Still working on my photography skills. Haha
Colours make food look more take-away.
I so love colours. I usually make mine with just the white cabbage and carrots. I will be trying out how it goes with red cabbage in it. The pics are soo cool.
It's the "awesomest" salad, Sisi! It will be cool to make a video of the recipe someday.
Thank you for stopping by my blog!
It's awesome! I made this for christmas and to think I never filmed it! It appeared on my vlogs sha
I love the colour the red cabbage gives the salad. Unfortunately it is not readily available in Nigeria. Bless ur lil girl for trying to make her own salad. How cute.

It's from this post that I realised red cabbage is not readily available in Nigeria. The recipe still works well with regular cabbage though. How are you doing, Nelo?
You could fall in love with cooking like me, Ife.
Waow. This looks lovely. I wish I had your passion for cooking though.
CHAPTER 10 of Wrong but Right? is here again! Enjoy! Pamilerin drove without any clear direction. He didn’t really care where he was headed; he just wanted to get over the seething anger raging inside him and driving had always proved to be a soothing exercise for him. He knew he had a volatile temper – where he got it from was still in question – and had over the years, mastered putting a rein on it. Continue here

I loveeee coleslaw and I loveee the colour red cabbage gives to this salad, and you're right! The combination is amazing. I always use a food processor and it takes barely 2 minutes to chop up all the cabbage! I've never made my own dressing… I'll try it out!

Lol @"oyinbo" cabbage.
Thanks for stopping by, Yetunde!
Red cabbage gives amazing colour to this though I sometimes think it overshadows the white. Lol
That's it! I'm getting a food processor. You won't believe, I don't own one, Kachee.
You should totally make your own dressing. The dressing in this recipe is yum!
First time I'd be seeing an 'oyinbo' cabbage. LOL. Thanks for the recipe. Kudos
There is a red cabbage and it is so cute!
Thanks for stopping by, Cassie!
Oh WOW!! I never knew there was a red cabbage! wow! It looks so good and this recipe definitely deserves a try!
Awesome.

Welcome back, dear.
Yet to come across red cabbage in Nigeria, I use white cabbage, carrot and red apple for my coleslaw, the apple gives it a distinctive taste. Send me some red cabbage, Lool. Bola
