Coleslaw

[ethandron]

I've just made a bowl of this to have with cold chicken and a few home made chips tonight. I use white cabbage, grated carrot and grated onion, covered in mayo. Does anyone have any additions they use to perk it up a bit?
I also made a bowl of pineapple salsa, totally scrumptious.

I am interested in your pineapple salsa. Can I have the recipe?? Thanks.

[ummmm]

I do it like you but also add a small bit of salad cream. I find with just mayo it's a bit too creamy.

Small amount of curry powder ?

[ethandron]

Well BOO, I'd love to put garlic in it but himself would barf.
Pineapple salsa recipe given to me by a friend who is a really good cook:
Half a pineapple (I used a tin in natural juice)
Half a red onion (more if you like it more oniony)
Half a chilli
1 large tomato
Tablespoon of fresh coriander
Juice of a lime (I used some squirty lime juice)
Chop it all up as small as you would for a salsa, put in bowl, add lime juice.

[ethandron]

Yes, curry powder is a thought, and maybe a few sultanas.

[ummmm]

And grated cheese goes well.

If I'm making a quality where there are unlikely to be any leftovers I'll sometimes add some Julienned Apple tossed in lemon juice (not girated though as it is too wet) along with a handful of crumbled walnuts for some bite. I generally prefer to use red cabbage as it is more colourful.

Quality=quantity!

[EcclesCake]

Oh for heavens sake!!! I do not girate apples.....grate!!!!

[ummmm]

Eccles - If only you'd spelt girated different you would have beaten McFluff hands down :-)

[ethandron]

I totally overlooked your salad cream suggestion Ummm, you reminded me I usually put a bit in too, thanks :) Not too keen on grated cheese in it, don't think it adds much flavour.
I'll be sure not to put any girated apples in Eccles ;)

Thanks Ethandron!! I will be trying that. It looks and sounds really tasty.

[ummmm]

It was 'tossed' 'gyrated' 'too wet' 'handful of walnuts'

:-) Just made me giggle.

Like EC I was going to say chopped apple and also celery if you can find a tender non-stringy one these days.
I do like my coleslaw.....
I also put curry powder in mayo and use it for dipping crudité. Just dollop as much mayo as you want in a bowl and then add small amounts of the curry powder you like and mix well until it reaches the concentration you want. Scrummy with raw cauli florets, carrot batons and all the usual crudités.

[ethandron]

Ha ha!

[EcclesCake]

Fluff must retain that Typo Title for much, much longer...........and be reminded from time to time

[marval]

I sometimes add a little bit of carrot.

[EcclesCake]

Oh lord, I had spotted all the other innuendoes.

Nigella, step aside!

Add lime pickle for oooomf
