Coleslaw
Coleslaw
Coleslaw (pronounced: /ˈkoʊlˌslɑː/), also known as slaw or cole slaw, is a salad consisting primarily of finely-shredded raw cabbage with a salad dressing, commonly either vinaigrette or mayonnaise. Variations of the salad can include carrot, onion, green pepper, red pepper, apple, pineapple, and/or pickle.
Etymology
The term "coleslaw" originated from the Dutch term "koolsla", "kool" meaning cabbage and "sla" meaning salad. The word entered the English language in the 18th century and has been used to describe this specific type of salad ever since.
Variations
Coleslaw is commonly served as a side dish with meals such as fried chicken, barbecue, and other American and Canadian dishes. In some regions, it is also used as a sandwich topping.
Health Aspects
Coleslaw can be a healthy dish, as it is primarily made up of vegetables. However, the nutritional value can vary greatly depending on the type of dressing used. Coleslaw made with a mayonnaise-based dressing can be high in fat and calories, while coleslaw made with a vinaigrette-based dressing can be lower in fat and calories.
