A white bowl of green cabbage, orange carrots, and red radishes coleslaw
A new take on an old classic

I find these types of recipes are really a to taste and texture sort of thing. Like it without mayo? Cool. Try Greek yogurt and hold the vinegar if you still need creamy. Or just find a good vinegar and oil combo.

I feel like a great coleslaw dressing needs to be sweet, salty, and spicy. I find this hits all those notes.

Dressing

Whisk together 

  • 4 TBS mayonnaise
  • 3 TBS apple cider vinegar 
  • 2 TBS Siricha Aioli *
  • 1 TBS Sugar 
  • 1 TSP Penzey’s Northwoods Blend
  • Salt & pepper to taste
    remember the spice blend does have salt in it. 

* if you don’t have Siracha Aioli try a little more mayo and as much siracha as you want.

Slaw

  • 4 cups or one small head of grated cabbage
  • 1 cup or 2 medium carrots grated carrots
  • 1/4 cup or 4 large grated radishes
    radishes are funny things, some stronger than others. This is just what I put in. Radish at your pace.

Toss the dressing and veggies together. I like to use a large lidded plastic bowl. Dump it all in and shake it up. It’s good right away, better the next day, and mixes strangely well with canned salmon.
