Coleslaw is a popular side dish made primarily from shredded raw cabbage, often mixed with carrots and dressed in a creamy mayonnaise-based sauce or a lighter vinegar-based dressing. Originating in European cuisines, its name comes from the Dutch word "koolsla," meaning "cabbage salad." Over time, it has become a staple in American barbecue, Southern cooking, and global cuisines. Nutritionally, coleslaw can be a healthy option when prepared with lighter dressings, offering fiber, vitamin C, and antioxidants from the cabbage and carrots. However, traditional creamy versions may be high in calories and saturated fat due to the mayonnaise. Customizing the recipe with Greek yogurt or vinegar can enhance its nutritional profile while preserving its crisp texture and tangy flavor. Coleslaw’s versatility makes it a refreshing addition to meals, complementing grilled proteins and sandwiches alike.
