Party Coleslaw
Yeah, I know, most coleslaw is wheat free, grain free and dairy free, but you'd be surprised how many people stick sugar in their coleslaw, when it totally doesn't need any! This makes a huge amount (the bowl pictured here is over a foot in diameter), enough to feed around 20 people but you can easily cut the recipe in half or even quarter it.
1 large head of cabbage, shredded with the slicing blade of a food processor or mandolin1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
4 carrots ends removed, washed and grated
1 T poppy seeds
1 T caraway seeds
salt and pepper to taste
1 C mayonnaise (approximately, just add spoonfuls and stir until thoroughly moistened).
A food processor makes this really quick and easy. Cut the cabbage into sections that will fit in the chute of your food processor, remove the stem bits and shred using the slicing blade. If you don't have a food processor, just slice very thinly against the growth of the leaves such that it's really thin strings of cabbage no longer than 2-3 inches. Next, either throw the half a red onion in using the same blade, or also slice that into thin sections. Change the blade to the grating blade and grate the carrots (or just grate using a box grater). Mix the vegetables in a large salad bowl until the carrots and onion are evenly distributed through the cabbage. Add the seasonings and mayo and stir until everything is evenly mixed and the whole salad is moistened with the mayo.
This is great on top of pulled pork sandwiches (using wheat free buns), or just as a side salad for a backyard barbecue or a pot luck dish.
