Thousand Island Slaw

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.

Blended Shiitake-Beef Burger with Spicy Thousand Island and Kimchi Slaw (and Frizzled Onions) Blended Shiitake-Beef Burger with Spicy Thousand Island and Kimchi Slaw (and Frizzled Onions)
The flavors of Asia are the inspiration for this blended burger of shiitake mushrooms, beef and the umami flavor boost from shiitake mushroom powder. The beefy flavor of mushrooms are the perfect partners with beef, creating layers of flavor while keeping your burgers moist and delicious.Start with a buttery toasted bun, then a base of spicy Thousand Island Dressing, reminding us of classic burgers. Crisp, cool and fermented Kimchi Slaw is the bed for the burger, and melted, oozing pepper jack cheese tops the burger with another little spicy kick.For a new side for your Blended Shiitake-Beef Burger, we make Frizzled Onion Rings. Frizzled onion rings are thin-cut and marinated in milk and Shiitake mushroom powder, then a quick deep-fry until golden and crispy. Taste the global flavors in this Blended Shiitake-Beef Burger with Kimchi Slaw.David Ross (todayshomekitchen.com) shared this recipe with me. Tony Sugimoto -

"Applegrass" Slaw "Applegrass" Slaw
As Doctor Who opened on the second season of the new era, we see the newly regenerated Tenth Doctor and Rose Tyler arrive on the planet of New Earth. It turns out the grass of New Earth is Applegrass and smells, according to Rose, quite lovely.I don’t know if applegrass actually tastes lovely, but I’m choosing to believe it does. That belief led me to this recipe for Applegrass Slaw. I suggest you pair it with regular, classic Earth pulled pork. Or hot dogs. Or hamburgers. Whatever you like. It’s lovely and crisp with a sweet-tart flavor that will stand up to just about anything it accompanies. Ann - FeastingOnFiction -
