Perfect Confetti Coleslaw Food

CONFETTI COLESLAW

Steps:

• Cut the pepper, and green onions into 2" cubes and coarsely chop in the following order using a food processor with the regular steel blade: drop the garlic through the feed tube with the motor running, add pepper and green onion until coarsely chopped. Empty into a large bowl. Add julienned carrots.
• Change to the slicer blade, cut cabbage into wedges to fit in the feeding tube. Discard the core - it is the wrong texture and has a very sharp flavor. When my mother made coleslaw she would always save the core for my father to eat. He loved it, so naturally we kids wanted to eat it too, until we tasted it, that is) Slice using light to medium pressure otherwise the slices will be too thick. (By hand, cut through the wedges from the core side out, and slice very thinly.) Add to the carrot- red pepper mixture.
• Combine the ingredients for the dressing in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Once the sugar has melted (less than a minute), pour the hot dressing over the coleslaw mixture and toss well.
• Transfer to a large container, cover tightly and refrigerate for at least one hour but preferably until the next day.

RAINBOW COLESLAW

ALMOST FAMOUS COLESLAW

Steps:

• Working with half of the bag at a time, chop the coleslaw mix into 1/8-inch pieces (about the width of the carrots). Transfer to a large bowl. Dice enough of the onion into 1/8-inch pieces to yield 1/4 cup. Transfer to a fine-mesh strainer and rinse with cold water for 1 minute to soften the flavor. Gently wring out the onions in a paper towel and then stir into the coleslaw mix.
• In a pint jar or other container with a tight-fitting lid, stir together the sugar and 3 tablespoons water until the sugar dissolves a bit. Add the mayonnaise, vinegar, mustard powder, paprika and 1/2 teaspoon salt, put on the lid and shake vigorously until completely combined. Stir the dressing into the coleslaw, then set aside for 10 minutes to marinate and soften, stirring a few times. Add more salt, if needed. The coleslaw will keep, covered in the refrigerator, for up to 1 day.

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.
