I have always wanted to make my own coleslaw. The obstacle preventing me from realizing this goal for the past year has been the fact that I cannot stand coleslaw that is made with oil and/or cream. The smell of it alone repulses me. I discovered a light low-fat mayonnaise the other day (Praise 99% fat free) that I decided to use when making my very own coleslaw recipe. A vivid red cabbage caught my eye at a farmers market last weekend which I purchased to use as the base for this dish. Besides being deliciously light in calories, the dish is extremely colourful and quite striking to look at. I served this coleslaw tonight as a side dish and it was consumed by the four of us hungry diners within minutes.
