Recipe : Coleslaw 

This is best made just before eating to retain the crunch.

1/2 red cabbage, very thinly shredded

2 radishes, thinly sliced

4 dried apricots, thinly sliced

2 tbsp almond slivers, dry fried in a pan over medium heat until golden brown and fragrant

4 tbsp mayonnaise

1 tsp rice wine vinegar

1/2 tsp Dijon mustard

1 tsp sugar

4 chives, sliced thinly

Mix the cabbage, radishes, apricots, almonds and chives together in a bowl. 

Mix the mayonnaise, wine vinegar, mustard and sugar together in another bowl and pour over the cabbage mixture. Stir well and allow to sit for a few moments.

Alternative recipe coleslaw

On Neil's recommendation, making this for a second time, I switched up the coleslaw recipe slightly, substituting white cabbage for red and adding some farmer's market produce bought that morning. It was much prettier, crunchier and fresh tasting.

 

So, instead of the red cabbage, I used a white variety.

I added 3 sliced raw squash blossoms.

I also added 4 chives, finely sliced along with 3 chive flowers, the petals separated and sprinkled on top.

Everything else remained the same as the previous recipe.
