I make my coleslaw based on a Nigella recipe and we've been munching on a ton of it lately it's so good hehe....sliced red cabbage, sliced green cabbage, jullienned carrots, spring onion and pecan nuts.Dress with 50g good mayonnaise (I use Best Foods - you don't want anything too sweet) mixed with 1 tablespoon of unsweetened or lightly sweetened yoghurt, 1 tsp of balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper and the magic ingredient...1/2 tablespoon maple syrup.The thing is to use real maple syrup as it gives a lovely smokey flavour to the dressing...use imitation maple syrup at your peril lol.I can lick the bowl clean after mixing this dressing it's so good hehe

I take finely sliced cabbage and cover it with boiling water which I immediately drain off and then add salt,vinegar and a little oil-I'm using rice bran at the moment.Mix through,then add grated carrot,finely chopped onion,celery,mint and parsley. I dislike mayo in coleslaw and making it this way the result is vibrant colour and taste.It's a restaurant recipe from many years ago.

A few sultanas, a grated apple (yum) but my favourite of all is grated cheese - I'm a cheesaholic!
And if you have never tried apple in a coleslaw - you really should.Adds a flavour that leaves people wondering what it was.

Sounds old fashioned, but try small cauliflour florets, and best mayo. The cauli is NICE - the only way our family eats it, never boiled!!!!!!!!!
