I wanted to make a creamy salad side dish that all the family can eat and enjoy wither vegetarian or not. This dish is bursting with flavour and super quick and easy! Tweak it to your own taste by switching up or adding ingredients. Xo ainslie

Here's a slaw without mayo. Healthy and most importantly yummy! Its tangy and sweet and thr flavour is perfectly balanced.

Growing up I totally hated coleslaw, until I started making it myself in a totally non-traditional way. Great by itself, on Burgers, or, my personal favorite, on pulled pork tacos.

By shredding the leftover outer leaves of a green, red, savoy, or white cabbage, as well as the core and trunk, we use the 3/4 pound of fresh cabbage trimmings people might discard, to make a delicious tender cole slaw salad. Family recipe, probably originally from Germany, but I use the food processor or V Blade mandolin slicer on the 1/8 th inch setting.

This is my variation of a Rachael Ray recipe.

This is an easy creamy slaw recipe that goes well with various American-style BBQs, and since we're in high BBQ and grilling season, I thought it a good time to share.I call it a Thousand Island Slaw because the flavors mimic that sweet tangy savory creamy flavor of Thousand Island dressing. It's my eldest daughter's favorite slaw, which she requests whenever we make fried or roasted chicken or barbecue - she loves to snack on leftovers later in the day.And I am all about whatever gets my family happily munching on raw veg.Add some celery seeds (just about 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoonful), and it's great on a Reuben, too.When you're selecting heads of cabbage, always check for tightly packed leaves and high density of water content. A good way to check for the latter is to pick up a few of the same size and select the one that's heaviest for that size. This means the cabbage is fresh and still has a lot of its original water content.

This is inspired by a condiment/side that they serve at my favorite Mexican restaurant, El Molino Central, in Sonoma, CA.My version is super simple, fast, and great as an addition to tacos or as a base for a taco bowl type meal. I've made it with different kinds of cabbage, vinegar, and sometimes add special additions like slivered red onion or toasted pumpkin seeds.

Feel free to add black beans and grilled corn to your slaw.

Perfect with pulled pork (check out my recipe)
