Cole slaw is an American snack dish made from cabbage along with carrots or other vegetables. Apples, cucumbers, onions, herbs, celery, radishes, etc. are often added to cabbage shavings. There are a lot of options, but the main focus in Cole Slaw recipes is not on the vegetable set, but on the composition of the original dressing, which is prepared with the addition of vinegar, mustard, sugar and distinguishes this salad from many other similar dishes.
Despite its simplicity, Coleslaw turns out tasty and filling, perfect for both summer and winter diets. The juicy, crispy cabbage in the recipe cannot be cooked, so it retains its natural freshness, and with it a storehouse of vitamins and microelements.

Hello my dear readers! Many times I have been convinced of the truth of the statement “whatever you call a ship, that’s how it will sail.” Sometimes the simplest dish arouses extraordinary interest just because of its outlandish name. And if we are talking about commerce, then beautiful names play the most important role. For example, cabbage salad doesn’t sound right. And the Coleslaw salad immediately attracts a lot of attention.
In almost all catering establishments, whether they have Michelin stars or much more modest regalia, cabbage salad is always present in one form or another. So in the cafe of one of my good friends it is prepared almost all year round. Until recently it cost mere pennies and did not bring much “turnover”. Everything changed when an old friend and her grandson came to visit her.
The friends, caught in their tongues, could not stop talking. The boy was distractedly “playing” Minecraft and did not seem to hear or see the chirping ladies at point-blank range. And then the conversation turned to cabbage salad - it’s cheap, it’s boring for visitors, the price of cabbage has risen, but they can’t raise the price of the salad. The young talent, yawning into his palm, takes it and blurts out: “And you make Cole Slow, like in Rostix.” 
This Cole Slaw turned out to be cabbage salad with a special mayonnaise dressing. This is what he ate with his parents at a popular fast food chain. It looks like the same cabbage salad, but not the same! On the same day, the Cole Slaw recipe was “obtained” on the Internet and after some time the salad appeared on the menu of the establishment, where it is still wildly popular. And the whole secret was in the mayonnaise dressing, which in the cafe they began to make much tastier than in this very Rostiks (there, in the American style, cabbage floats, drowning in mayonnaise, which is not good for health).
“Cole slaw” translates simply as shredded cabbage. This is a traditional American salad, sometimes made from several types of cabbage.
Cabbage salad Cole slaw - my recipe with photos
- 800 g white cabbage.
- 1 medium sized carrot.
- 1 medium sized onion (optional)
- 1 tablespoon of weak wine vinegar (5-6%)
- Ground black pepper.
- Salt.
- Sugar.
- 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise.
- 3 tablespoons sour cream (20%).
- 1 teaspoon mild mustard.
- 1 tablespoon of kefir or natural yogurt.
My comments - I have a recipe for Chinese cabbage salad, prepared “inspired by” Cole Slow.
- Zealous guardians of the authenticity of the salad demand the addition of celery seeds to the classic version, however, most often they have not seen them, like me. Therefore, if you really want a “celery” taste, but, as luck would have it, you have never seen any seeds of it in your Palestines, then feel free to chop up some celery root or put some greens in Cole Slaw.
- This salad can serve as an independent side dish for Wiener schnitzel, chicken chops, etc.
- Cole slaw is extremely tasty with banal mashed potatoes and fragrant homemade black bread.
- 2 carrots.
- 450 g white cabbage.
- 1 small onion.
- 2 tablespoons of natural yogurt.
- 1 tablespoon mild grainy mustard.
- Ground black pepper.

- 1 fennel stalk.
- 450 g white and red cabbage.
- 3-4 radishes.
- Half a small celery root.

Sakura is most often associated with Japan and its culture. Picnics under the canopy of flowering trees have long become an integral attribute of welcoming spring in the Land of the Rising Sun. The financial and academic year here begins on April 1, when the magnificent cherry blossoms bloom. Therefore, many significant moments in the life of the Japanese take place under the sign of their flowering. But sakura also grows well in cooler regions - certain species can be successfully grown even in Siberia.
We have prepared a hearty, incredibly appetizing and simply easy-to-prepare dish for you today. This sauce is one hundred percent universal, as it goes with every side dish: vegetables, pasta, or anything. Chicken and mushroom gravy will save you in moments when you don’t have time or don’t want to think too much about what to cook. Take your favorite side dish (you can do this in advance so everything is hot), add some gravy and dinner is ready! A real lifesaver.
Agriculture is one of those types of human activity, the successful outcome of which is not always directly proportional to the efforts made. Unfortunately, nature does not necessarily act as our ally when growing plants, and often, on the contrary, even throws up new challenges. Increased reproduction of pests, abnormal heat, late return frosts, hurricane winds, drought... And one of the springs gave us another surprise - a flood.
With the arrival of the dacha season, the question arises of growing strong and healthy seedlings of our favorite vegetables: cabbage, tomatoes, sweet peppers, eggplants and many other crops. At the same time, the question arises - how to grow decent seedlings and subsequently get healthy plants and a decent harvest from them? For example, I have been growing seedlings for several seasons now and protecting my garden from diseases with the help of biological preparations Alirin-B, Gamair, Glyokladin, Trichocin.
Let me confess my love today. In love with... lavender. One of the best unpretentious, evergreen and beautifully flowering shrubs that can be successfully grown in your garden. And if anyone thinks that lavender is a Mediterranean or at least southern resident, then you are mistaken. Lavender grows well in more northern regions, even in the Moscow region. But to grow it, you need to know some rules and features. They will be discussed in this article.
Once you have tried such an invaluable product as pumpkin, it is difficult to stop searching for new recipes for serving it to the table. Korean pumpkin, despite its pungency and spiciness, has a fresh and delicate taste. After cooking, you will need to cover the salad and let it sit for at least 15 minutes. My nutmeg pumpkin is very juicy and sweet, so there is no need to mash it. If the pumpkin is of a different variety, you can mash it with your hands so that it slightly releases the juice.
Lettuce, as the earliest and most unpretentious green crop, has always been held in high esteem by gardeners. Most gardeners usually start spring planting by sowing lettuce, parsley and radishes. Recently, the desire for healthy eating and a large selection of greens in supermarkets have forced gardeners to think about which of these plants can be grown in their beds? In this article we will talk about nine of the most interesting, in our opinion, varieties of salad.
The flowering of indoor roses always comes with one more “bonus” - capriciousness. When they say that it is easy to grow roses in rooms, they are lying. For indoor roses to bloom, you need to create literally ideal conditions. And constant care, attention and response to any plant signals is the main key to success. True, no matter how capricious roses may be, they can be grown quite successfully in a potted format. And attentive flower growers should not be afraid of this.
Pollock is best prepared as a casserole, separating the fillet from the skin and bones. Pieces of fish are mixed with a colorful assortment of vegetables and topped with a sauce of cheese, sour cream and eggs. This fish casserole has a presentable appearance, and its taste is a bizarre mixture of subtle nuances. Vegetables and fillets will be soaked in sour cream, the cheese will harden into a golden brown crust, and the eggs will bind all the ingredients together. Pieces of fish are generously sprinkled with Italian herbs, and pollock acquires an unusual piquancy.
Despite the fact that calendar spring begins in March, you can truly feel the awakening of nature only with the appearance of flowering plants in the garden. Nothing signals the arrival of spring as eloquently as clearings of blooming primroses. Their appearance is always a small celebration, because winter has receded and a new gardening season awaits us. But, besides spring primroses, there is still something to see and admire in the garden in the month of April.
Rapidly growing and turning into wild thickets, hogweed disrupts the existing ecosystem and suppresses all other plants. Essential oils contained in the fruits and leaves of hogweed cause severe forms of dermatitis. At the same time, it is much more difficult to control than other common weeds. Fortunately, today a product has appeared on the market that can quickly rid your area of most weeds, including hogweed.
Carrots come in different colors: orange, white, yellow, purple. Orange carrots are dominated by beta-carotene and lycopene, the yellow color is due to the presence of xanthophylls (lutein); White carrots have a lot of fiber, and purple ones contain anthocyanin, beta and alpha carotenes. But, as a rule, gardeners choose carrot varieties for sowing not by the color of the fruit, but by the timing of their ripening. We will tell you about the best early, middle and late varieties in this article.
We recommend a fairly easy pie recipe with a delicious chicken and potato filling. An open pie with chicken and potatoes is an excellent hearty dish that is suitable for a hearty snack; it is very convenient to take a couple of pieces of this pastry on the road. The pie is baked in the oven for one hour at 180 degrees. After this, we lay it out on a wooden surface, having first released it from the mold. It is enough to slightly cool the baked goods and you can start tasting.
The long-awaited spring for many indoor plants is the period of the start of active growing season, and for most - the return of their decorative properties. While admiring the young leaves and emerging shoots, you should not forget that spring is also a great stress for all indoor plants. Sensitive to changes in conditions and universal, all indoor crops face much brighter lighting, changes in air humidity and temperature conditions.
You can easily prepare homemade Easter cake with cottage cheese and candied fruits, even without any pastry experience. You can bake Easter cake not only in a special form or in a paper mold. For your first culinary experiences (and more), I advise you to take a small cast-iron frying pan. Easter cake in a frying pan will not turn out as high as in a narrow pan, but it never burns and is always well baked inside! Cottage cheese dough made with yeast turns out airy and aromatic.

Mix yogurt, Dijon mustard, lemon juice and pepper. Add sugar little by little, mixing well. Let's taste it. If you want a spicier taste, add mustard and lemon juice; if you want a creamier taste, add yogurt. Don't add salt, the salt will be in the salad. Let the dressing brew.
