Homemade coleslaw is just so easy to make – you can either use a food processor to shred the vegetables or get busy with a knife – either way is easy.

Pick out your veggies – good fruit and vegetables to put in homemade coleslaw are…

red cabbage
white cabbage
carrots
onions
apples
raisins
fennel
jalapeños add a spicy kick

Simply shred your veggies then make a dressing – the easiest option is to go with mayonnaise seasoned with your favourite spices, you could opt for a healthier version and use natural yogurt.

What can I serve spicy coleslaw with?

Spicy coleslaw makes a delicious spicy side dish – ideal for serving with BBQ food, Mexican food, burgers or chicken. I love to make this with red cabbage just because it looks so much nicer. It goes great with our taco dogs!
