The finished coleslaw
Salads are an important part of summer eating in New Zealand and it’s not a real kiwi BBQ it seems without coleslaw on the menu. Coleslaw is actually really easy to make and not as time consuming as it seems. I was looking forward to trying the coleslaw recipe on page 182. I made the basic recipe as given without adding any of the possible variations. The recipe does have the addition of French dressing, mayonnaise or blue cheese dressing. I chose the first option and went with the French dressing. The recipe can be found on page 189. I’m not usually big on vinegar style dressings but this recipe is lovely. The balance was perfect and I think it’s now one of my favourites. I really recommend giving it a go.
Back to the coleslaw recipe. The recipe has a nice balance of flavours and is really fresh. At first glance it seems very green (well, it was literally all green) but the mix of vegetables is really very nice I thoroughly recommend it.

There is something really satisfying about eating coleslaw you made yourself.
Until next time. Happy cooking 🙂

Hi Nikky, I have seen some on Amazon for ridiculous prices. Other than that having a cousin in New Zealand is a good way to get a copy if you send them an address. I’m so happy you are enjoying my site 🙂 Tan
