I have eaten and made lots of coleslaw in my life. A word of warning it’s not what you expect a traditional coleslaw to be, made with mayonnaise, it’s has a oil based dressing instead. I love this recipe for many reasons. One because it’s inexpensive, two you get literally a bucket load, three it’s healthy and classed as a super food and four it’s just simply brilliant!
I make this recipe if I need to feed a lot of people. This dish goes with a lot of eating occasions such as a BBQ, hot or cold buffet or even a lovely roast. I made this slaw on Sunday to accompany quarter roast chickens delicious.
