coleslaw
From the Dutch koolsla, meaning "cool cabbage," coleslaw is a salad of shredded red or white cabbage mixed with a
MAYONNAISE,
VINAIGRETTE or other type of dressing. Other ingredients such as chopped onion, celery, sweet green or red pepper, pickles, bacon or herbs may be added. There are probably as many variations of coleslaw as there are cooks.
