Are you searching for a great coleslaw recipe? Homemade coleslaw is easy to prepare, and by making it yourself, you can tailor the recipe to your taste and save money. This guide to making coleslaw will walk you through the process of preparing a perfect side dish.
Introduction
Although coleslaw is readily available at most delis and grocery stores, homemade coleslaw is worth the effort. You can purchase the cabbage, carrots, and onions premixed in a bag, or you can shred the vegetables at home with a food processor or grater. In addition to the shredded cabbage, carrots, and onions, coleslaw requires a dressing which can be quickly made with ingredients you probably have in your pantry already. Some people choose to use a bottled coleslaw dressing to make preparation even faster.
