FRESH AND CRISPY SLAW

Steps:

• In a large serving bowl combine the coleslaw mix, yellow pepper and tarragon leaves.
• In a small bowl combine the dressing, mustard, honey and poppy seeds. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Pour over the coleslaw mixture, toss to coat and serve.

CREAMY CRISPY COLESLAW WITH PECANS

Steps:

• Prepare the dressing by combining the mayonnaise, sour cream, vinegar, honey, lemon juice and some salt and pepper in a large mixing bowl. Whisk together to mix.
• Add the green and red cabbage, kale, carrots, apples and onions. Toss well to coat everything evenly and mix. Set aside while you toast the pecans. Set a large dry pan over medium to high heat and add the pecans. Brown the pecans all over, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from the pan, roughly chop and then sprinkle them over the top of the coleslaw.

CRISPY COLE SLAW

Steps:

• Rinse the cabbage. Add water to the bowl and cover the cabbage completely. Drain into a colander and press down getting as much water out as possible. Pat dry on a towel. Finely shred the cabbage on a chopping board. Toss the cabbage and shredded carrots in a medium sized mixing bowl. Set aside.
• In a small glass bowl add all the dressing ingredients. Whisk up until it is creamy.
• Pour over cabbage, carrot and onion mixture and toss.
• Chill this salad for at least 1 hour so the flavors will marry each other.

CRUNCHY COLESLAW

• Toss together cole slaw and green onions.
• In a small mixing bowl, whisk together oil, vinegar, sugar, and ramen seasoning packet.
• Pour over salad and toss together.
• Just before serving, add ramen noodles (broken into small pieces), almonds and sunflower seeds and toss together.

CRISP PICKLED COLE SLAW

Steps:

• Finely shred the 2 different color cabbages(I use a mandolin, but a very sharp knife does just fine).
• Slice the peppers thinly and chop into small pieces.
• Cut the onion into 4 pieces.
• Thinly slice the four pieces and separate into slices.
• Finely julienne the 2 carrots(or more if desired) and cut into small pieces or grate them on a grater.
• Place all the chopped and shredded vegetables into a large bowl.
• In a small saucepan combine the sugar, vinegars, salt and celery seed.
• Bring to a boil.
• Boil for 3 minutes.
• Pour the hot vinegar over the shredded and chopped vegetables.
• Combine well.
• Transfer into large jars to store in the refrigerator.
• Cool before serving.
• This keeps for a very, very long time in the frig and actually gets better after "pickling" for several days.
