What are your favorite recipes and styles?
Favourite is basic carrot and cabbage slaw with apple cider vinegar and olive oil dressing. Apart from really liking the flavour, it can be taken on picnics without fear of a mayonnaise based spoilage.
I like Curtido aka Salvadoran coleslaw.
I make cole slaw with a very simple dressing of Duke’s mayo, a lil spicy brown mustard, RWV, s&p. The “secret” is very thinly sliced red onion in addition to the cabbage, which gives it just a hint of a bite.
Best made a day ahead.
I don’t have a recipe as much as a method. I start with a dollop of mayo (Best Foods, usually), add a little sugar, vinegar (white, apple cider, red, rice), salt, pepper, lemon juice, and then something to give it some character. Oregano, cumin, chile powder, and cayenne for a southwestern/Mexican kick, or shoyu and sesame for an Asian flair, for instance. Shred up a quantity of cabbage and carrot. Maybe a tablespoon of pickle relish, too. Combine everything. It’s better if it sits in the fridge for at least an hour or so.
