Coleslaw is a delicious salad that can be enjoyed all year round. This winter coleslaw uses red cabbage instead of the more traditional white cabbage.
I don't know about you, but I tend to think of coleslaw as a summer dish. I guess because it is essentially a salad, but it's a salad that can be enjoyed pretty much anytime of the year.
Ingredients
This version uses a mixture of red cabbage, celeriac, carrot and onion. The vegetables are tossed in a mayonnaise dressing lightened with the addition of natural yogurt.
- red cabbage
- celeriac
- carrots
- apples (optional)
- Greek style natural yogurt
- mayonnaise
- whole grain mustard
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
If you like, you can add a couple of thinly sliced crisp green apples. Granny Smiths would be perfect.
Step by step winter coleslaw
Coleslaw is really simple to make, and is even quicker to prepare if you have a food processor with slicing and grating blades, although that does make for extra washing up.
I tend to make rather a lot which makes it ideal when entertaining and it will keep in the refrigerator for several days.
What to serve with Coleslaw
In the winter I like to serve coleslaw with baked potatoes and cold meat, which makes this the absolute perfect dish for boxing day.

Thank you. Did you serve it with the marmalade glazed gammon you made? It would have gone together really nicely.
