Picnic Cole Slaw
Sometimes, you just don't want the mayonnaise, like on a picnic when cole slaw can't be refrigerated.
This is a basic cole slaw mix of ingredients with the Kitchen Tapestry recipe for Picnic Cole Slaw Vinaigrette that is great when you just don’t want the usual mayonnaise based cole slaw dressing. I decided to name it Picnic Cole Slaw precisely because it lacks mayonnaise, one of those things that sitting outside on a picnic table in the hot sun for very long would be ill-advised.
Basic Cole Slaw Salad Mix
Yield: 4
These are the fundamental ingredients for a decent cole slaw, lending itself to any number of dressings or vinaigrettes.
Ingredients
- 1/2 head green cabbage, shredded
- 1/2 head red cabbage, shredded
- 1 carrot, shredded
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
Instructions
- Put everything in a mixing bowl and toss well to combine.
- Allow to sit covered in the fridge until ready serve.
- Do not put dressing or vinaigrette on the salad until ready to serve.
Notes
- Packages Cole Slaw Mixes (like, Dole or Fresh Express) will generally provide you a fresh, convenient manner to build your cole slaw with the first three ingredients, so all you have to add is chopped onions.
