Andys Amazing Coleslaw Recipes

DELICIOUS EASY COLESLAW

Steps:

• In large bowl combine dressing ingredients: mayo, mustard, vinegar, sugar, optional garlic powder & onion powder, onion, celery seeds, dried herbs, salt and pepper to taste. Stir until everything is combined well and taste for additional seasonings.
• Stir in cabbage and carrots.Cover and refrigerate for about 2 hours for the slaw to absorb the dressing and soften a bit. The longer the cabbage sits in the dressing, the softer and creamier it will become.

THE BEST CREAMY COLESLAW

Steps:

• Toss together the cabbage and carrots in a large bowl.
• Whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, vinegar, mustard, honey and celery salt in a medium bowl. Pour the dressing over the shredded vegetables and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Season with more salt and pepper before serving.

SIMPLE CREAMY SOUTHERN COLESLAW RECIPE

Steps:

• Prep. First, read my article on The Science of Slawsome Slaw. Then decide how you want to cut the cabbage, carrot, and onion: Chopped, grated, or hashed and have at it. I prefer this recipe shredded or chopped.
• Salt. In a large strainer or colander, mix the cabbage, carrot, and onion with the salt and put it in the sink or over a bowl for an hour. The salt will draw out a lot of water that will otherwise dilute the dressing. Then rinse the mix with cold water to get rid of excess salt and pat dry. You can now hold it in the fridge for a day if you want.
• Dress. Whisk together the dressing in a large bowl. Add the cabbage, carrot, and onion mix. Taste, adjust seasonings, cover and chill for at least 1 hour if possible before serving.

SERIOUSLY GOOD HOMEMADE COLESLAW

Steps:

• Quarter the cabbage through the core, and then cut out the core. Cut each quarter crosswise in half and finely shred. Place the shredded cabbage in a very large bowl (you will have 6 to 8 cups).
• Add the shredded carrot and parsley to the cabbage and toss to mix.
• In a separate bowl, stir the mayonnaise, vinegar, mustard, celery seeds, salt, and pepper together. Taste for acidity and seasoning, then adjust as desired. If the dressing tastes too tart and you prefer a sweeter coleslaw, stir in the optional sugar.
• Pour two-thirds of the dressing over the cabbage and carrot then mix well. (Clean hands are the quickest tool).
• If the coleslaw seems dry, add a little more of the dressing. Eat right away or let it sit in the refrigerator for about an hour to let the flavors mingle and the cabbage to soften.

SANDWICH ESSENTIALS: AWESOME TUNA AND COLESLAW

Steps:

• 1. PREP/PREPARE
• 2. It is no secret that my favorite tuna is Wild Planet... Not just because they are sustainably fished, but it tastes so dang good. If you can get it, I would suggest you give it a try. Regardless of your choice, make sure it is water packed. https://www.wildplanetfoods.com
• 3. The coleslaw I am using is a typical variety, much like a Kentucky coleslaw. Here is the recipe that I used: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/side/vegetable/andy-s-amazing-coleslaw.html?r=3
• 4. Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
• 5. Drain the tuna, add to a bowl with the other sandwich ingredients, and lightly toss, until just combined.
• 6. Chef's Note: If you substitute white pepper, for the black, you will get more of a "sweet" heat. In addition, if you add a dash or two Frank's hot sauce, you will give it a bit of a savory kick that goes quite well with the coleslaw.
• 7. Divide the tuna, and add half each to the bottom of two toasted buns.
• 8. Chef's Tip: I added some butter lettuce leaves to the toasted buns for two reasons: First, I like butter lettuce. Second, it insulates the bun from the tuna, and helps keep it from getting soggy.
• 9. If you want to kick it up, add two thinly-sliced tomatoes, top with a piece of provolone, and stick under a broiler, for about 30 seconds. Mmmmmm.
• 10. Chef's Tip: If you are using the tomatoes, sprinkle a bit of salt, and black pepper on them before adding the provolone. Tomatoes just beg for salt and black pepper.
• 11. PLATE/PRESENT
• 12. Serve with chips or fries, a nice pickle (sweet or dill), and maybe a few tall cold ones. Enjoy.
• 13. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.

ASIAN COLESLAW

ANDY'S AMAZING COLESLAW

Steps:

• 1. PREP/PREPARE
• 2. THE SLAW
• 3. Take the cabbage, cut out the hard core, and chop.
• 4. Chef's Note: Here's the thing... Different people like their coleslaw chopped in different ways. Some like it thickly sliced, and others finely diced. I will admit that I'm somewhere in the middle, but the good news is that it really doesn't make any difference. Chop it up the way it will make you happy.
• 5. Optional Step: Place the chopped slaw in a colander and toss with the salt, and sugar. Let stand for about an hour, and then rinse and use a salad spinner to remove the moisture. If you choose not to do this step, then just move on as if nothing happened.
• 6. Add the coleslaw in a bowl, and then toss with the shredded carrots, poppy seeds, and toasted sesame seeds.
• 7. THE DRESSING
• 8. Whisk all the ingredients (with the exception of the parsley) together until smooth.
• 9. Chef's Note: If you like your dressing a bit thinner, add more vinegar. If you like it a bit sweeter, add a bit of sugar. Don't for to give it a taste or two, and adjust the ingredients accordingly.
• 10. THE ASSEMBLY
• 11. Toss the dressing with the coleslaw, cover and refrigerate for 1 hour before serving. Enjoy.
• 12. Chef's Note: I usually add some chopped Italian flat-leaf parsley to the top for garnish.
• 13. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
