Fresh Slaw

March 31, 2013 By Carolyn Berry 1 Comment

Coleslaw

It’s official….Spring has sprung!!  It’s that time of year for refreshing salads and cooking food on the BBQ!  Since the sun has been out in Vancouver (for longer than 1 day this time)  I just had to make this deliciously crisp and refreshing salad.  Did you know that the word “coleslaw” comes from the Dutch word  “koolsalade”, which means “cabbage salad”?

Coleslaw often gets a bad rap, especially coleslaws with creamy dressings.  These creamy dressings are often made mostly of mayonnaise, adding more fat than what we usually desire a salad to have.  I like this particular salad because the dressing is mostly Greek yogurt, which is creamy but without all the fat.  The apples, oranges and raisins add a nice sweetness, while the Dijon mustard contributes a kick of flavour.  If you’re in a time crunch, use a pre-made coleslaw salad in a bag and add the homemade dressing with the raisins, fruit and nuts.  If you’re not a fan of creamy dressings, ditch the mayo and yogurt, and add some canola oil to the other dressing ingredients.
