Festive Coleslaw Recipes

FESTIVE COLESLAW

Steps:

• Combine the dressing ingredients in a blender and emulsify, about 30 seconds. Refrigerate, covered, at least 1 hour and up to 4 days.
• Cut all the cabbages into quarters, core and shred. Toss all the vegetables in a large bowl with the dill and parsley. Cover and refrigerate. The slaw can be made up to 24 hours ahead. When ready to serve, add the dressing and toss well.

CHRISTMAS COLESLAW RECIPE

Steps:

• 1. Soak the shredded cabbage in cold water and refrigerate for two hours, then drain well. 2. In a large bowl, whisk the olive oil, vinegar, mustard, maple syrup, ginger, sea salt and pepper. Whisk in the white wine to lighten. 3. Add the cabbage, beetroot, radish and rocket and lightly toss. Scatter with pomegranate seeds and return to the fridge to stand for one hour (or bit more or less) before serving.

FESTIVE HOLIDAY COLESLAW SALAD

Steps:

• To make the marinade, combine the grated ginger with the orange juice, lemon juice, vinegar, maple syrup, oil, ½ teaspoon of salt and a good pinch of pepper. In a large bowl combine the cabbage, sprouts and cranberries, pour in the marinade, stir thoroughly and refrigerate for 4-8 hours (see Notes). Stir the mixture occasionally.
• Preheat the oven to 400 F/ 200 C/ gas mark 6. Line a medium sized baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
• In a bowl combine the pecans with 2 tablespoons of the maple syrup and 1/3 teaspoon of salt, stir thoroughly until the pecans are completely coated in the mixture, spread on top of the baking sheet in a single layer and roast for 10 minutes (do not allow the pecans to brown too much). Remove from the oven and leave to cool for a minute. Then either toss into the salad or allow to cool completely and add later (you can roast the pecans the night before).
• Serve the coleslaw with freshly chopped cilantro. Adjust the seasoning, and add more oil and/or lemon juice before serving if needed.

CHRISTMAS SLAW

Steps:

• Peel strips from the carrots using a vegetable peeler, then mix with the other salad ingredients in a large bowl. Combine all the dressing ingredients in a jam jar, season, then put the lid on and shake well. Toss through the salad when you're ready to eat it. The salad and dressing will keep separately in the fridge for up to four days.

LAUREN'S FESTIVE COLESLAW

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix the first six ingredients. In a separate bowl toss the shredded cabbage, carrot and green pepper. Stir in the dressing until well coated. Refrigerate until ready to serve. If you want to eliminate mayonnaise, simply combine 1 part vegetable oil to two parts vinegar and two parts sugar. This will make a sweet and sour, non-creamy coleslaw.

Steps:

• In a bowl, lightly mix the Swiss cheese, green onions, banana peppers, jalapeno peppers, and mayonnaise. Cover and refrigerate 24 hours to blend flavors. Mix in more mayonnaise before serving, if desired.
• To serve, cut core out of cabbage and discard. Cut a thick slice from the bottom of the cabbage; use a fork to pull the inner leaves out of the cabbage to leave a hollowed out bowl. Pull several of the outer leaves slightly open and fold them back to make the bowl more attractive; serve the chilled dip in the hollowed cabbage.
