coleslaw

Please tell me you can do this.............theres only me and fraggie at home and we both love homemade coleslaw, but with all the ingredients you always make far to much... so i was wondering if you could freeze the stuff you dont use for a later date?
i dont think you will be able to but thought it was worth a ask?!

Thanks

No, it'll spoil in my experience

Best fresh

Just keep on eating it! Especially in cheese sandwiches.

You can make a varieation with vinegar if you wish using cider or rice vinegar. Try red coleslaw using red cabbage, carrott & red onion. Traditional coleslaw is just white cabbage, carrott, onion with mayo, a pinch of mustard powder & a healthy dose of fresh ground black pepper. But like any good salad the variations are endless, and tasty

Oooh tabasco. Now there's something I'd never have thought to have in coleslaw. Must add it to the next serving I get, wherever that may be....

I dont think mayo freezes to well does it ?

Try smoked paprika or szechwan pepper too

you have to have some onion in it.

Low fat mayo??? are you mad?

I always use a cap full of white wine vinegar. This helps taste and reduces the amount of mayo you need. Then you can use a good mayo rather that low fat (low taste) mayo.

And yes, IMHO onion is essential and I wouldnt put green pepper in either. Just carrot, white cabbage and onion.

Oh and to answer the question, I would think freezing and defrosting would destroy the structure of the crisp vegetables. Sorry

Make your own Mayo, tiz simplicity itself really.

i thought mayo separated if you put it in the freezer - so probably not a good idea
