This sweet red cabbage and beet slaw recipe is terrific with grilled meats or even on top of your favorite hot dog.
This time of year I see coleslaw recipes everywhere. There isn’t a magazine or food blogger who hasn’t published their twist on this classic Dutch salad – I have several versions myself.
The problem with many slaw recipes is that they’re loaded with mayonnaise. In my opinion, all that extra mayonnaise wilts the salad, leaving it soggy and flat.
I wanted the veggies to be the star of my slaw, not the mayonnaise, so I used shredded beets and red cabbage to add color and crunch. The beets could stand up to my favorite olive oil based mayonnaise, and the color is fantastic next to your favorite grilled chicken, beef, fish or sausages.
Just as I promised, this is not your typical coleslaw. There’s plenty of crunch and color – and no soggy vegetables!
Happy, healthy cooking!
