summer slaw.


mmm... cabbage.
mmm... summer.
mmm... slaw.

summer screams cole slaw! it's so versatile.
in salads.
on sandwiches.
by itself.
with bbq.
possibilities are endless!

i love slaw. i especially (and really only) love home-made slaw. none of that pre-packaged crap that's swimming in mayo. that shit's for the birds...
i personally like to make my slaw with a teeny-tiny bit of mayo and more red wine vinegar. (something i'm clearly a HUGE fan of) i'll mix it with some dried minced onion, and the varieties are limitless! limitless!
typically, i'll slice my cabbage into medium-long strips and toss it. today, i ran it through the food processor. i (more like cuisinart) chopped it into tiny little bits, and i'm liking it.
i mixed my head of cabbage with the chopped up bits of 5 carrots. i added about two tablespoons of low-fat hellman's, and about 1/8c of red wine vinegar. i tossed it together, added some dried minced onion and black sesame seeds. (why not?!)
i'm letting my cole slaw sit, i love how it gets "cooked" in the vinegar and gets nice and dense.
i'm amped to throw my cole slaw over salad, and more specifically throw it on a toasted roll with some vegetarian ribs.

yum!
perfect.summer.dinner.
