Making the most delicious coleslaw salad
The best recipe for coleslaw ever
I did promise right… So here is the recipe for this delicious coleslaw. The funny thing is that I was always kind of convinced that coleslaw came from the states. Just because it is so common there and is served with virtually everything and it is a classic BBQ dish. So imagine my surprise when I found out that coleslaw is – in fact – a Dutch invention! (ok well invention is maybe a big worth for a simple salad but still)
The word ‘cole’ is actually not a real word in English anyway, at least not in the sense of the meaning here (as it would be cabbage instead) so the word coleslaw is a quite literal translation of koolsla, as it is is called in Holland. Which goes to show that there is so much we take for granted which then turns out to be quite different.
But where ever it comes from; this is a delicious variation to the theme. And there are as many variations as there are ways to write coleslaw (uh..) And that makes sense as the ingredients are easy for creative interpretation. And I like this one best! My favorite coleslaw recipe!
