Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Cut the cabbage in half and remove the center rib. Shred as you would for coleslaw. You should have about 6 to 7 cups of lightly packed cabbage.

  2. Step 2

    For the dressing, combine the garlic, salt, pepper, mustard, vinegar and olive oil in a bowl, stirring with a whisk. Add the cabbage and stir. Just before serving, sprinkle the basil on top. The salad will develop more taste if made a few hours ahead.

Vinegrette coleslaw

This is a perfect coleslaw for someone wanting a non-creamy coleslaw. The Dijon makes it creamy and flavorful enough. Although add a scoop of mayo if you want. Would probably be good. Celery and slivered almonds would be a delicious add.

Made as written and amount of garlic was perfect. The vinegar, salt, and garlic ratios were perfect to liven up the cabbage without mayo or peanut sauce. My new favorite slaw recipe—can’t wait to share it with a group of friends.

My Northern CA CSA box gave me all the ingredients this second week of June, so making this seasonal salad and dressing is a must tonight.
