I am a cabbage fan.
I will pretty much eat it anyway it is cooked or not cooked. Everything from creamy coleslaw to simply roasted to cabbage rolls. It is all good to me.
I am also a salad fan. I easily eat at least 2 salads a day, sometimes sticking to the same salad for lunch for a few days or constantly trying to switch it up.
But with coleslaw, truthfully it is almost always a creamy coleslaw for me. It is how my grandma used to make it and it is still my favourite.
Are you team creamy or not?
I decided to play with a non creamy coleslaw recipe and I really liked the flavour so I thought I would share it with you.
The hardest part of making coleslaw is the shredding of ingredients you need to do and after that it is an easy one bowl assembly.
I added shrimp to my salad in the photo but you could easily serve this coleslaw with any meat-bbq pork loin, ribs, baked chicken,etc.
