I made the cool slaw to go along with Weltek's jerk recipe. First off, I cheated. I bought a bag of the pre-shredded cole slaw blend that had green and red cabbage and carrots already shredded up together. It was a fairly rough chop and I like cole slaw that way, so I just dumped the bag into the bowl to begin.
I did mince my own red onions, though.
I also used lime juice instead of lemon, ala qwertypie. It was mostly just laziness.
I did make a mistake but it turned out great and I would do it again. I had been planning to make qwerty's sweet potato fries with the honey lime dipping sauce but ran out of time. While I was throwing together the cole slaw, I had a brain hiccup and instead of putting in 1/4 cup of mayonnaise I put in a 1/4 cup of sour cream (which was intended for the dipping sauce.)
I didn't even realize it until just now.
I intentionally reduced the sugar to 3 tablespoons.
Mr. Fro raved about the cole slaw and I love it too. It's really refreshing and I'd actually make the sour cream substitution in the future. I've never made cole slaw before and this recipe is a keeper.
Thanks, Seana! Tabbouleh is on the docket for later this week!
