Slaw partners happily with so many things—roast chicken, a juicy steak, seared tempeh, braised pork, sausages, burgers of any type, fish, sandwiches, etc. Really, it’s hard to go wrong here.
Ingredients:
2 medium raw beets, peeled and grated
½ green cabbage, thinly sliced or grated
¼ cup rice vinegar
salt, to taste; start with a teaspoon
freshly ground pepper to taste
¼ cup of your favorite mayo or substitute ¼ cup olive oil for a mayo-less slaw
Toss together the grated beets and cabbage in a large bowl.
Pour in the vinegar and and stir in the mayo (or olive oil).
Season to taste with salt and freshly ground pepper.
Slaw likes lots of add-ins: nuts, pumpkin seeds, chopped fresh parsley or cilantro, grated red onion, raisins or currants, chopped apple, etc.; follow your tastebuds.
