As we settle into spring, we can start to indulge in lighter and fresher foods without feeling the cold. One side dish you may find on your radar is coleslaw, but one home chef said you’ll never need to buy it from the supermarket again. He also has a secret ingredient which will elevate your coleslaw to the next level.
Max McCann, known as Meals with Max on TikTok , shared his simple recipe for a homemade coleslaw, saying his version is creamier and crunchier than those you can buy at the shops. Another bonus to Max’s recipe is that it takes just five minutes to make. You’ll only need a handful of ingredients and just two bowls, minimising the amount of washing up afterwards.
Max said: “Trust me, it’s way better than the shop, you’ve got to try it.” What’s Max’s secret ingredient? Among a plethora of flavours, Max adds a small amount of runny honey to give the coleslaw a hint of sweetness. Max’s video has already been viewed over 121,300 times, receiving 2,614 likes and 153 comments.
Hev suggested: “Use broccoli instead of cabbage it's a game changer.” Angela said: “Am going to make this tonight.” Amy said: “This is exactly how I make mine.
” Lynda said: “I love homemade coleslaw. I eat bucket loads of it in the summer.” To take your coleslaw to the next level, this is what you need to do.
Ingredients Half small white cabbage Two carrots Half an onion Three tbsp mayonnaise One tbsp Greek or plain yoghurt 1⁄2 tsp Dijon mustard Lemon juice One tsp honey Salt and pepper Method Cut out the hard centre of the white cabbage and discard. Cut the cabbage half in half again, turning it onto its flat side and finely slice, then place into a bowl. Grate the carrot and place into the bowl with the cabbage.
Finely slice the onion and add to the bowl. In a separate bowl add the mayonnaise, yoghurt, Dijon mustard, a squeeze of lemon juice, salt and pepper, and the honey. Give it a mix with a whisk.
Pour the dressing into the bowl with the vegetables, mixing together until fully combined. Serve when ready. If not using straight away, make sure to squeeze the excess liquid from the carrots.
