I made some coleslaw tonight, as you have probably guessed! We had some on a baked potato with salad. It was really tasty! The ingredients were a symphony of colours before I added the dressing, so I am showing you a picture of that first.
Red Cabbage Coleslaw
1 baby red cabbage, sliced
2 large carrots, roughly grated
1/2 red onion, finely sliced
4 spring onions
1 green apple, sliced and tossed in the juice of 1/2 lemon
2 tbsp low fat mayonnaise
2 tsp wholegrain mustard
salt & pepper
Just mix everything together, not so much a recipe as a list of ingredients!
I'll be brushing the Halloumi with some Jerk Honey Glaze from Ruth's blog over at Once Upon a Feast.
Unfortunately I haven't made this yet and it needs time to develop, so it will be a couple of days before I have that Halloumi. But who cares, the coleslaw will be even tastier by then!
Whew, lookin' good! Never thought about putting apple into it! I adore the crunch of fresh slaw! Off to the Farmers Market in the morning. I wish you had one close! Or better yet, I wish you could join me. Back to ya soon!
ReplyDeleteHi WineDeb, The apples add a lovely sweetness to the coleslaw, which contrasts nicely with the mustard and lemon juice.
ReplyDeleteI wish I was coming with you to the Farmers Market, what a lovely day we would have. I will go with you virtually, if you tell me all about it. Lots of pics please!
that picture looks so wonderfully colourful without the dressing - don't lot of vegetables make any meal look so pretty! I like the idea of your coleslaw with a haloumi with a jerk honey glaze - will check that out!
ReplyDeleteLove all those colours together. Not a coleslaw fan at all but this is tempting.
ReplyDeletemmmm...I love halloumi! You have such great taste, Holler!
ReplyDeleteHi Johanna, you are right, vegetables add such beautiful colour to a dish!
ReplyDeleteI made the Jerked Honey Rum Glaze tonight, so hopefully it will be adorning some halloumi tomorrow! I think I subconsciously left the Rum part out, so as not to alarm Graham!
Hi Wendy, This coleslaw is not too creamy, thanks to the lemon juice! I sometimes feel coleslaw is too rich! Actually I think it would be good just with a lemon and mustard dressing.
Thanks Jenn!
that looks very yummy! and beautiful, as well!
ReplyDeleteMmmm... Love coleslaw!
ReplyDeleteHi Frannie, It is yummy, but I don't make it very often, usually barbecue time!
ReplyDeleteHi Maya,glad you like the coleslaw. You could eat it without worrying, all that gym time, you dedicated person, you!
