Coleslaw is a classic summer side dish which unofficially announces that it's summertime! This coleslaw mixes crunchy, healthy cabbage, shredded carrots and a creamy dressing together for a crisp ice cold side dish.
It's summer! It's time to start making those great side dishes that go perfectly with chicken and steak and burgers.
HOW TO MAKE EASY COLESLAW
- Whisk together the mayonnaise, oil, sugar, vinegar, salt and poppy seeds. I like to use a glass measuring cup for this. It's easy to pour the dressing out.
- Dice some onion, very finely.
- You can buy prepackaged coleslaw for this, or shred your own. When I buy the prepackaged kind I tend to cut the cabbage even smaller. I find there are always larger chunks of cabbage in it.
- Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl. I like to use stainless steel for this as it gets the coleslaw ice cold.
- This is best made a day in advance to give the cabbage a chance to soften and absorb the dressing.

I absolutely enjoy and love reading all these wonderful recipes online. I sporadically try to make the recipes. My husband and myself spontaneously enjoy doing so. Is there anyway u could give me a price and where to purchase a cook book just like this one, or is there anyway u could send me respices through emails? When I am furious with anyone, an object, or the world; I feel liberated when I'm in the kitchen cooking. I am adamant I would love to make almost all these wonderful and delicious respices for my husband, kids, and step kids. When my husband and I are cooking together I sporadically get apprehensive when I have a cookbook or rescpe to help read and help me cook and make delicious food for my family. Thank u in advance
Sincerely,
Stephanie Fowler
