COLESLAW

PICKLE COLESLAW

Steps:

• Whisk together the honey, vinegar, mayonnaise and mustard in a small bowl. Slowly drizzle in the oil, whisking to combine. Season well with salt and pepper. (Alternatively, add the honey, vinegar, mayonnaise and mustard to a mason jar with a lid, cover and shake well. Add the oil and shake well once more.)
• Combine the cabbage, red onion, Chinese celery and pickles to taste in a large bowl. Pour the dressing over the vegetables and mix well. Taste and season with salt and pepper. For an extra kick of flavor, mix in some pickle juice if using to taste. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

GOURMET COLE SLAW

Steps:

• Whisk all vinaigrette ingredients in a bowl. Mix all vegetables in a bowl. Pour the vinaigrette over the vegetables, toss and chill until ready to serve.

CONFETTI COLESLAW

Steps:

• For the salad: Quarter and core the cabbage. Set up a food processor with the slicing blade. Slice the cabbage and then transfer it to a colander. Switch to the grating blade and shred the carrots; add to cabbage. Toss the cabbage and carrots with the salt and set colander in the sink until the vegetables wilt, 1 to 4 hours. Rinse cabbage mixture thoroughly in cold water and spin it dry in a salad spinner.
• Meanwhile, make the dressing: Whisk the vinegar with the honey, mustard, celery seeds, salt, and black pepper to taste in a small bowl. Gradually whisk in the olive oil, starting with a few drops and then adding the rest in a steady stream to make a smooth, slightly thick dressing.
• Quarter, core, and shred the apples. Toss the cabbage mixture with the apples, scallions, and about 1¿2 cup of the dressing. Refrigerate until chilled and the flavors come together, about 1 hour. When ready to serve, toss the watercress with the remaining dressing. Make a ring on a platter with the watercress, and mound the coleslaw in the middle of the ring.

GRANDMA'S SWEET SLAW
