We luckily have spring on our side right now. Temperatures are up again and some even started the BBQ season. My balcony is not yet ready for bbq-ing but my fridge definitely is. When planning my weekend lunches ahead I usually also check the weather forecast. Today I was in the mood for a savory tart. I went for a French classic; quiche lorraine and needed a more funky salad to go with. As the flavors of the quiche are rather neutral I wanted to bring in some daring combinations as a side dish. While browsing the other day I found a similar recipe, which I chose to adapt according to my preferences. In terms of vinegar I dared to put a little extra to it. But you’ll find out later on.
Coleslaw is one of my favorite salads. I remember that on summer nights my mom sometimes prepared savory tarts with coleslaw as a side. But it was always the classic coleslaw. So yet again I share with you another childhood classic; a savory one this time. Over the years I already tried several recipes, but let me give you one good advice. The secret of a good coleslaw lies in the mayonnaise you choose. A good quality mayonnaise, or even better a home made one, is the key to success. Apples give your salad a little extra and are a good counterweight to the cabbages’ acidity.
