I’ve got a few recipes to share for your long summer weekends, cooking outside with family and friends. This simple coleslaw is inspired by a recipe I found in the New York Times archives.
I like the tang of the yogurt and subtle bite of the ramps in this slaw. If you don’t do dairy or don’t care for creamy coleslaw you could easily dress this with a simple vinaigrette: 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, sherry vinegar or apple cider vinegar mixed with 2 tablespoons dijon mustard, one clove garlic pressed and whisk in 1/4 cup olive oil. Season to taste with salt, pepper and a smidge of sugar.
