Classic Homemade Coleslaw is an essential part of my diet now a days. Added to a bowl of fresh scampi, in a burger, a rack of ribs finishes the dish for me. It cuts through the fried food with a lovely crisp fresh flavour which in turn magnifies the rest of the bowl. I like to add small diced apple and sultanas to my coleslaw as additional textures and flavours. Most of all the the moist sultanas pop with flavour being in the vinegars. Serve as a filling, a side dish or as a snack. Also if you like a little heat, add 1/2 tsp of paprika to the dressing for a gorgeous subtle flavour. Classic Homemade Coleslaw is a brilliant make in advance dish and a must have for summer bbq meals.
