JEAN'S COUNTRY COLESLAW

Steps:

• Cut cabbage into 4 quarter, remove outer dark green leaves. A crisp stalk of celery, washed and strung if needed. Take cabbage against a shredder on the side with the long groove blades, do all quarters but not the center core. Thinly sliced celery, almost 3/4c or more. (Add-in carrots,or shred on same blade as cabbage). Place into a large mixing bowl, and stir it. This can be done hours to 1 day ahead if kept sealed and chilled before adding sauce.
• Sauce can be made ahead as well but not mixed in with cabbage until 1-2 hours prior, with time for slaw to soak in sauce. In a medium bowl or in an empty Mayo jar, Add and fold together the sauce items. Taste before chilling, and make adjustments. This is where celery seed can be added. Jean's caution was "Don't add S&P in it, have it on table."
• When ready to serve set S&P, scallions near by. For added color or festive look sprinkle lightly with paprika.

• 2. In a medium bowl, whisk to combine dressing ingredients. (You may not use the entire amount of dressing in the salad.)
• 3. Add approximately 3/4 of the salad dressing and toss gently to coat. If you like a wetter coleslaw, you can add more. I usually add 3/4, and then check it right before serving. If it seems dry, I add more then.)

LOWCOUNTRY PICKLED COLESLAW

Steps:

• Make the slaw: Put the chopped and diced vegetables in a bowl or other container that will fit in the refrigerator.
• Make the dressing: Crush the garlic, and with the side of a knife work the salt into the clove until it makes a rough paste. Add the garlic paste, ginger, vinegar, oil and 1/3 cup water to a saucepan and bring to a low boil. Cook for 3 or 4 minutes, stirring now and then. Remove from heat. Allow to cool for 1 or 2 minutes, then pour over the vegetables, tossing well to combine. Refrigerate 4 hours or overnight.
• Just before serving, toss with the lime juice and a few grinds of black pepper. Taste and add salt if needed.

CLASSIC HOMEMADE COLESLAW

Steps:

• Remove any bruised or damaged outer cabbage leaves. Halve through the stem, and remove the dense core with a sharp knife and discard. Put cut side down onto a chopping board, and slice as finely as you can into thin shreds. You can also do this on a mandoline (you might want to quarter before slicing) or in a food processor with the shredding attachment. Tip into a bowl.
• Grate the carrots on a box grater to coarsely shred, or cut into thin strips using a julienne peeled or the grater attachment on the food processor. Tip into the bowl. Finely slice the onion, and thin as you can, and add to the bowl with the other veg. Add the herbs if using. A mixture is nice if you have some to use up.
• In a jug, whisk the mustard, mayo, yogurt and vinegar. Season well, and taste for sharpness and creamy. Add more vinegar if you like.
• Tip the dressing into the veg bowl, and mix everything together well with a large spoon. Stir so all the veg gets coated lightly in the dressing. Sprinkle with a few pinches of paprika, and serve straight away. Can be covered and chilled for up to 3 days. Mix well before serving.
