Savory Radish-Cabbage Coleslaw
Proper right here’s an easy coleslaw you are able to put together right kind from the early spring garden. This coleslaw has a sophisticated radish chunk to it. It’s savory. No sugar, so it’s not your affordable picnic slaw. We matched this slaw with grilled salmon and steamed peas and mushrooms and each and every chunk was a delight.
Components
- 1 Head of cabbage crimson cabbage
- 1 Bunch of radishes (Fleenor’s if possible)
- 2 teaspoons caraway seeds
Instructions
- Chop cabbage finely
- Chop radishes finely
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Merely enough mayonnaise to cover all, added slowly to make sure the slaw does not get to soggy.
This recipe was a favorite of Agnes Palmer of Walla Walla, Washington. When the Schmidt family put together their favorite family recipes in 2000, Agnes coleslaw was right kind there next to potato chip cookies (hmm, that’s any other story).
The story goes that Agnes insisted on radishes from Fleenors, the favorite Walla Walla grocery of the 1950s and 60s that the Fleenor brothers hovered over. The gist is: select your radishes with care. Contemporary spring radishes with chunk are what set this coleslaw apart.
What choice of diversifications of coleslaw are there? What choice of cooks make coleslaw?
“Koolsla” is a shortening of the Dutch “koolsalade” which means that cabbage salad. “Cole” is the English time frame for cabbage coming from the Latin “colis” because of this cabbage. In some places, such for the reason that American South, coleslaw is solely plain “slaw.”
