This colorful California coleslaw is dressed with a slightly sweet vinaigrette-type dressing. You’ll find it a perfect addition to both summer and winter menus. For a different taste, add a little freshly crushed garlic.
This slaw will keep for several days in the refrigerator. It’s good served with fried chicken, spareribs, or any barbecued meat.
Makes 4 servings. For 2 servings, half of the ingredients. For 8 servings, double the ingredients, but reduce the dressing. Use 1 1/2 times the amount.
Money-saving.
