Coleslaw Salad
Quick Recipes Simple Recipes Lacto-Ovo Vegetarian Recipes Vegetables Salads
My father picked up this recipe from a restaurant in Bucharest because he loved it so much. When he came home with it, my mother and I looked at the recipe with disbelief - it sounded strange... cabbage with mayonnaise... But it's incredibly delicious and it's actually an internationally recognized salad called "Coleslaw" - this is the American version because it contains mayonnaise.
I forgot to weigh the cabbages before I started, but they were very small, a little larger than a grapefruit.
Ingredients
1 very small red cabbage
1/2 very small white cabbage
2 carrots
5-6 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 cloves garlic
a few sprigs of parsley
a few sprigs of dill
salt
How to prepare coleslaw salad
- Cut the cabbage into very fine shreds. If you can't cut it by hand that finely, use a coarse grater. Massage it a little with salt to soften it.
- Grate the carrots on a coarse grater. Finely chop the herbs. Mix everything together.
- Add the mayonnaise and crushed garlic and mix well.
- Keep refrigerated for maximum 2 days. Serve plain with toasted bread or as a topping in sandwiches.
