The Dish | Bake Sale Betty’s Coleslaw

The iconic (and fantastically easy to make) accompaniment to any main course.

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 1 small red onion, sliced very thin
• 1/2 cup red wine vinegar
• 1/2 green cabbage, cored and remove outer leaves, then slice very thin
• 1/4 cup chopped parsley
• 2 jalapeño chiles, cut in half lengthwise and sliced crosswise
• 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions:

1. Mix the Dijon, red wine vinegar, and salt in a small bowl.  
2. Whisk in the olive oil and set aside. 
3. In a small bowl, cover sliced onions with red wine vinegar, allowing to macerate for 5 minutes. 
4. Drain off the vinegar and discard. Add onions to a medium mixing bowl along with cabbage, parsley, jalapenos, cilantro, salt, and enough vinaigrette to moisten. 
5. Combine all ingredients and adjust seasoning
