Making Cole Slaw Recipe At Home Is A Breeze!

➡️ When it comes to dressing for cole slaw recipes, they can be based on vinegar or can be creamy, based on yogurt or sour cream. Since you are thinking of starting a healthy lifestyle and possibly dieting, we put aside the yogurt and sour cream dressings due to their higher fat content and focus on those whose main ingredients are vinegar or fresh lemon juice.

➡️ I recently wrote two articles about balsamic vinegar vinaigrette and red wine vinaigrette that I recommend for reading and I even suggest you learn them because both types of dressing are ideal for any coleslaw. Of course, these are more complex salad dressing recipes that include various ingredients that you may not have at hand, even if they are not sophisticated. However, you can prepare extremely simple slaw dressings, such as simply squeezing the juice from a lemon over the shredded cabbage, adding a pinch of salt and possibly some herbs, and mixing the ingredients – your healthy cabbage salad is ready to serve!

➡️ In the end, I think you are convinced that the preparation of homemade coleslaw recipes is very simple, fast, and does not require much time to prepare. What you should also remember is that cabbage slaw recipes are extremely versatile and therefore you can add any other vegetables you have in the fridge – carrots, radishes, green onions, tomatoes, bell peppers, and so on. In addition, other ingredients can be added besides vegetables and I am thinking, first of all, of hard-boiled eggs and matured cheese such as white brine cheese or feta. Therefore, you have no excuse to postpone and not start your new healthy lifestyle today!
