Men love Cabbage Salad. We are fortunate to have a small food coop that brings us fresh lettuce, arugula, and cabbage from local green houses, even in Winter. Today, I was talking to my Mom about coleslaw. She makes the best traditional coleslaw ever. I decided to make some for lunch, but with a few modern twists.
Modern Coleslaw
1 wedge cabbage, sliced thin and diced
1 carrot, grated
3 green onions, chopped
1 small shallot, sliced and chopped
Red, green, yellow diced peppers (about 1/3 cup)
Broccoli florets sliced thin and chopped (about 1/3 cup)
Dressing:
3 Tablespoons of some combination of the following:
Sour Cream
Mayonaise
Greek Yogurt
1 or 2 teaspoons lemon juice
Dill, chopped
1/2 teaspoon of each salt, sugar, pepper (possibly additional salt)
Pinch curry powder (you won't taste this, it just adds a level of complexity--a friend told me that)
Things you could add to the salad to change the character (but I did not--it looked too delicious as is)
Either halved cherry tomatoes or halved grapes (not both!!)
Sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds
Chopped avocado or chopped artichoke hearts or chopped green apple
