Coleslaw is a classic dish often associated with picnics and barbecues, but its origins trace back to the Netherlands, where it was known as 'koolsla,' meaning cabbage salad. This creamy peppery coleslaw with cucumbers and celery adds a refreshing twist to the traditional recipe, offering a delightful crunch and a burst of fresh flavors. It's perfect for those looking to add a crisp, vibrant side to their meal, and its creamy dressing with a hint of pepper makes it irresistible.
This coleslaw pairs beautifully with grilled meats such as chicken, pork, or beef. It also complements seafood dishes like grilled salmon or shrimp. For a vegetarian option, serve it alongside a hearty bean burger or a vegetable quiche. Its refreshing qualities make it an excellent choice for balancing out spicy or rich foods, and it's a great addition to any potluck or picnic spread.
