| cole slaw with salad cream |
I made this cole slaw in 10 minutes. There are times I do not want it served with jollof rice and today is one of those times. I felt like just filling myself with some salad or cole slaw, I went for cole slaw. Got it ready in 10 minutes and enjoyed myself thoroughly. It’s a good thing I made much because the girls actually wanted some more again and again and again.

INGREDIENTS FOR MY SPECIAL COLE SLAW
- cabbage
- carrots
- onion (optional)
- salt
- warm water
- Salad dressing
STEPS TO MAKING MY COLE SLAW
- The carrots are washed and peeled like oranges before shredding with a sharp grater.
- The cabbage is chopped with a knife and soaked in salted warm water for about 5 to 7 minutes. (the salted warm water takes away that cabbage smell)
- A few slices of thinly chopped onion are mixed with the carrots and cabbage.(optional)
- The salad cream, mayonnaise or other dressings are added to the mixture depending on the flavor I want, and what I want to eat the cole slaw with.
- My cole slaw is stored in the fridge ‘cos I like it cold!

NOTE:1. I did not add onion to this because I didn’t want onion breath on a sunday :()
NOTE:2. The carrot is more because I wanted more orange color today.
NOTE:3. I do not add boiled egg here, leave that for mashed potato salad.

Thankyou Eya for this lovely simple recipe. I often go out and buy coleslaw without realizing that I have the ingredients in the house to make it myself, and fresh too.
Hi Brenda, I used to buy cole slaw too, then, I didn't know how to stop the cabbage smell. LOL!
Simple and healthy
Happy new year Eya

Ok, can you give me some time please?
Ok, I think I have to learn how to make my egg rolls better for your sake, so I can publish. Just give me some time OK?
looks really nice 🙂 eya. sometimes, i actually add sardines in mine. Gives it a really nice taste.
I usually prefer to make my own dressing using olive oil, lemon juice black pepper and a pinch of salt. I find it is healthier
swallowing very hard! your cole slaw looks very colorful.
You are right Dobby, very nice taste. I add sardines when I want to use it for sandwiches. Love love the taste of cole slaw sandwiches.
Makes sense. Thank you, I will try that.
Thanks Priscy! Sending some by courier.

Please did u drain out the warm salted water used for soaking the cabbage after some time,because you didn't mention that or you used the cabbage soaked in the warm water with the carrots. Thanks.
Yes Joy, I drained out the salted warm water.
Its always a pleasure visiting ur blog.God bless u for d good job!
So coleslaw is just cabbage and carrot and salad cream/mayonnaise?. Please what else can i add to it? Can I add baked beans or corn beef?
Add some thinly chopped onion.
Very nice.I like it's orange look.
Eya…u mentioned soakin d cabbage wit warm water, doesnt d water soften n reduces its nutritional value. Or does it still remain cripsy after soaking ? Am preparin jollof rice wit coleslaw my favorite meal any day
Thanks for this so simple recipe. If you have to add some eggs with the salad, how's it prepared and how long shd it last in the fridge?
