Cole slaw comes from the Dutch word kooolsla, meaning "cool cabbage. Shredded red or white cabbage mixed with mayonnaise and/or vinaigrette. Other typical ingredients include minced onion, chopped celery, sweet bell peppers, apple, pickles, and crisp bacon. There are as many variations as there are cooks. My advise is to mix/store the dressing, herbs, and seasonings seperatey. Combine the prepped cabbage vegetable/fruit with the dressing moments before serving to avoid weeping/bleeding. I would also use the bacon as a garnish when serving a large party for those who do not appreciate the splendors of crispy bacon. You can use a hollowed out fruit or vegetable, cut in half, leveled on the bottom, that reflects the ingredients you choose to plate the slaw, for a fancy touch.
My favourite seasoning for shredded white cabbage is a vinaigrette generously flavoured with anchovy paste. Make an emulsion with all the ingredients, season the cabbage and keep it aside for 30 mins to amalgamate flavours. :lips: Pongi
