This simple yet delicious coleslaw makes a brilliant side dish to a meaty meal. Coleslaw originated in the Netherlands – the name is an anglicisation of the Dutch term koolsla, which means ‘cabbage salad’. It’s now popular the world over, especially as an accompaniment to barbecues and picnics. The classic recipe uses mayonnaise to create a creamy side dish, but you could also substitute mayonnaise for vinaigrette, lemon juice, mustard, Greek yoghurt, or tahini, to suit whatever you’re serving alongside the slaw.
