Summer Slaw

Slaw is one of my favorite sides. There's something about the creamy and crunchy combo that I can't get enough of. This twist on a classic is the ideal thing to serve at bbq's and picnics alike.

This is pretty easy to make as all you have to do is chop and combine.

I changed the classic recipe to make it more sweet'n'sour. For the sour I included buttermilk to cut the richness of the mayonnaise, and the sweet comes from the maple syrup and pecan nuts. 

This is so tasty and is bound to be a favorite at a summer gathering!

RECIPE:

Makes 8 portions

Ingredients:

Half a white cabbage

2 carrots

4 spring onions

2 tbsps butter milk

2 tsps white wine vinegar

2 tsps maple syrup

5 tbsps mayonnaise

50g pecan nuts 

Method:

Shred the cabbage and spring onions so they are very fine.

Grate the carrots and add all the vegetables into a large bowl.

Combine all the wet ingredients into another bowl and mix until combined. Have a taste at this stage to ascertain if you need to add anything else - I put some salt in.

Mix this into the vegetables before roughly chopping the pecans and sprinkling on top.

Serve with my chicken drumsticks for an easy summer dinner!
