Cole Slaw

A simple and straightforward cole slaw with a light and tangy mayo dressing.

As I begin this series on Cole Slaw (every Wednesday for the next 5 weeks), I thought I'd start with the most common variant and a little background. The term "cole slaw" came from the Anglicization of "koolsla," short for "koolsalade," a Dutch term meaning "cabbage salad." And that's cole slaw in it's most basic form. It's a salad mainly consisting of raw, shredded cabbage and some sort of dressing - usually mayo based, although some use buttermilk or vinegar. You can also add other ingredients - carrots, celery, nuts, apples, dried fruit, etc. I kept this cole slaw simple - adding just carrots and celery seed in a light and tangy mayo dressing.

Do you like cole slaw with lots of add ins or just the basics? What's your favorite dressing type?
