Crunchy colorful tangy coleslaw that is super easy to make; inspired by my Mother.
I don’t like traditional coleslaw!
Lol, no need to check my DNA…
I know it’s a must for most of your Shabbos tables, it’s just not my thing!
You know me and my mayo … seems like such a waste!
Maybe because my mother didn’t serve coleslaw frequently?
Do you find how you cook is influenced by your mother’s preferences?
One of my earliest memories … very late at night (probably 3am!) my mother making homemade mayo, then traditional coleslaw for Pesach in her laundry room/Pesach kitchen.
When do I make coleslaw?
If it complements my Friday night main,
If I’m having a lot of company and want some extras,
if I’m having an easy Miami Shabbos .. lol, ha!
If it’s BBQ season.
Enjoy!
From my home and heart to yours,

1 package classic coleslaw mix
handful raw French beans, sliced in very thin circles, approx 1/3 cup
1/2 of red, yellow and orange peppers, small dice
2 tbs minced fresh parsley
4 tbs Italian dressing (Ken’s zesty italian)
2 tbs Hellman’s light mayonnaise
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
1-2 scallions, sliced in thin circles (optional)
Put ingredients in a ziploc bag, mix lightly with your hand, close bag and smush it around a bit.
If you insist, first whisk together the Italian dressing and mayo in a bowl and then add. You can substitute with your favorite coleslaw dressing.
I start with less dressing and then add … vegetables will release liquid … you want the vegetables to keep their crunch.
Drain excess liquid before serving.

@gold French beans are very thin string beans that are being used raw (not frozen) and you cut them very thinly.
are they string beans? If so can I use them right out of the freezer once defrosted or do they need to be cooked first?
