Are you lucky enough to get some weekend cookout invitations this summer? Oh, good. Let’s make sure you get invited back.
How’s that work, you ask? Well, I always find that bringing food to the party is a good start.
It doesn’t need to be fancy. In fact, simpler is usually better with a dish that has to travel. And, you don’t want to be on your feet all morning just before you leave for the party. Here’s something that might just fit the bill.
Basic Coleslaw
Serves plenty
1 large head of cabbage
1 – 2 carrots
1 cup of mayonnaise (low-fat is okay)
2 Tbsp sugar
2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 Tbsp white vinegar
3 Tbsp canola oil
1 tsp mustard powder
1/4 tsp ground coriander
salt, to taste
Shred cabbage and carrots. Or, use a bag of coleslaw mix, if you must.
Whisk together mayo (I use a mix of full-fat and low-fat), sugar, vinegars, and oil.
Add spices, and whisk smooth.
Pour over vegetables.
Stir gently to combine and fully coat the vegetables.
Store covered in refrigerator. When ready to serve, stir again to bring up any dressing from the bottom of the container.
