Boxing Day Coleslaw Recipe

A fantastic addition to the Boxing Day dinner table. Bright, seasonal and versatile.

This is super simple and can be prepped a couple of days ahead.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 white onion, peeled and sliced
  • 1/2 small red cabbage, sliced (outer leaves and core removed)
  • 2 carrots, peeled and grated
  • 6 brussels sprouts, finely grated (outer leaves and stalk removed)
  • 1 tbsp capers, roughly chopped
  • 1 lemon, zest and some juice to taste
  • dill, small bunch picked and chopped (reserve some for garnish)
  • flat leaf parsley, small bunch leaves and stalks, chopped (reserve some for garnish)
  • quality mayonnaise, to your liking – we like ours with quite a bit on. Our favourites are our Original Mayonnaise. Or the Lemon Mayonnaise for a bit of extra zip
  • black pepper, to your liking
  • salt, to your liking but only added last minute

METHOD

  • Prepare the vegetables. You can prepare in advance. Keep the vegetables separate. Ideally in a vacuum or sandwich bag and in the fridge until needed.
  • Simply combine all ingredients. Reserving some herbs for garnish
  • Mix well with the mayonnaise of choice. Always add more than you think as it will thin out  once all combined after a while
  • Serve straight away or leave in fridge until needed.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs
